Clean, Shaven is
a 1993 film directed by Lodge Kerrigan, in which Peter Winter (played by Peter
Greene) is a schizophrenic man desperately trying to get his daughter back from
her adoptive mother. The film tries to objectively view schizophrenia and those
who are affected by it.
The film took about two years to completely finish shooting because Lodge
Kerrigan, the director, was constantly running out of money. The film was
screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
Peter Winter is a young schizophrenic who is
desperately trying to get his daughter back from
her adoptive family. He attempts to function in
a world that, for him, is filled with strange
voices, electrical noise, disconcerting images,
and jarringly sudden emotional shifts. He clings
to his humanity like a raft, barely afloat in a
sea of terror. In a brief moment of congruence,
he shatters his image reflected in a window,
perhaps to more properly align it with his
fragmented psyche. During his quest, he runs
afoul of the law and an ongoing murder
investigation.

One of my favorites...

I rented this movie a few years ago, and fell in
love with it. Peter Greene steps out of his
normal "tough, bad guy" Hollywood roles to play
a sensitive father handicapped by
schizophrenia.He is recently released from a
hospital and reuniting with his daughter becomes
his main focus.Unfortunately, we soon learn that
its hard for him to focus as sweet hope soon
turns tragic. All he wants is to be a good
father, something his ailment makes him
incapable of. I love the way the director
visualizes the schizophrenic moments. If you are
looking for something off the beaten path I
highly recommend it.
