Abstract
This essay questions Fredric Jameson's and Slavoj Zizek's recent claims that contemporary dystopias are just plain boring. It argues that if they are right, then we must dive deeper into boredom to locate dystopian critique of catastrophic neoliberal hegemony, and takes as its example two pieces of 'slow cinema' - the films AT SEA and DEAD SLOW AHEAD.
