Clean, Shaven (1993)
8/10
Bleak Film About Paranoia...
22 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
CLEAN, SHAVEN is a dark film detailing the experiences of a paranoid man trying to get custody of his daughter.

Peter has recently been released from a mental hospital, and it's pretty obvious early on that he's still not all-there. He tries to function in surroundings that are scary and alien to him, and it is not an easy situation. He wants to be the person/father that he should be, but his mental limitations make that impossible.

CLEAN, SHAVEN is a pretty somber experience and isn't recommended for the casual film viewer. I personally didn't find the film to be quite as controversial and "shocking" as many did, but it is a pretty depressing film. One scene in particular may find most in the audience squirming...recommended for those who enjoy subversive/depressing cinema. 8/10
