Watch: Clean, Shaven 1993 123movies, Full Movie Online – Clean shaven a tough film for some to take, but it contains by far the most honest and moving portrait of schizophrenia every put on the screen. Peter Greene portrays a young man who’d been instatutionalised. Now outside, he’s desperately trying to find a way to both function in the world, and to search for his young daughter, who he had before being hospitalised, and had only seen as an infant. It’s a hard film for some to watch, but it’s also highly rewarding -especially in Mr Green’s riveting performance..
Plot: 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. 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. 10/10stars
A lesson in how films should be made.
“Clean, Shaven” is pure film.I was trying to find a movie to watch from all the films I had recently time-shifted from TV, and gave up on two others because they were so shallow. As soon as this began, I knew it was different and I had to watch it through to the end despite its very unpleasant nature.
One of the titles at the beginning worried me as it was for “Special Effects”, so I knew there was going to be something gruesome coming up. However, there was nothing sensational about this film. It is the antithesis of the Hollywood shocker. The corpse on the examination slab was not a pretty young thing played by an actress – it was a realistic-looking (I presume) cadaver with all the potential nausea that that implies.
To me, pure film conveys something more than just a narrative to the viewer. It is imbued with ideas and feelings. It conveys these more through the medium of film itself than through trite dialogue or sensationalism. Lodge Kerrigan understands this and makes the most of the medium – using sound and vision to reveal the interior of a disturbed mind.
There are parts of the film that I do not claim to understand. The “body” in the boot, for example, is still a mystery to me. But I have no intention of watching this film again to find out what it all means. It is just too disturbing for me to view a second time. However, I’ll hang on to the recording and watch it again one bright sunny summer’s day when I can watch it critically rather than subjectively.
I don’t understand why some IMDb reviewers regard this film as trite and over the top. This has to be a masterpiece – and a very disturbing one. Only 8/10 because it is so unpleasant to watch.
