Clean, Shaven (1993)

January-February 2013 Movie Journal (30 movies items)

" Ignore my rating. I don't really know what the correct rating for Clean, Shaven is. There were times at which I found myself deeply haunted by it and there were other times at which I felt like things were dragging. But my reaction here is definitely more positive than negative, because I can't help but give credit when I finish watching a movie and I tell myself "Well, this is not something you see every day," and that's certainly what I thought when this ended."

" Rewatch Criterion Collection releases have a well-earned reputation for including great special features so, while I'd watched this film on Netflix Instant not so long ago, I was excited to have the real thing in my hands. The feature-length interview with director Lodge Kerrigan, conducted by Stephen Soderbergh was truly interesting and informative. It offered plenty of satisfying insight into the film itself and the broader artistic sensibilities of the director. And even better is that S"

"First viewing - Feb. 9th Much like Spider, this film is all about the lead role which is played to perfection by Peter Greene (best known as Zed in Pulp Fiction). I was mesmerized watching Greene's character figure out ways to avoid his own reflection, and some of the ways he chooses to do so wind up reflecting his mental state. Perhaps even more impressive than Greene's performance, however, is the way sound is used in Clean, Shaven. The variety of sounds used throughout the film help us get"

Film Journal 2012 (58 movies items)

" January 6th - Clean, Shaven is a minimalist film where Lodge Kerrigan shows a subjective viewpoint of a schizophrenic named Peter. Everything including simple mundane tasks look and feel alien. Peter Greene gives a frightening and unpredictable performance as Peter even if he overdoes it at some points. The sound design even furthers the unsettling feeling by amping up the background noises and at times overwhelming with radio broadcasts of people saying violent and horrific things. We are"

" Even if he does not intend to romanticize, the artist who seeks to inhabit the mind of a madman runs the risk of seeming presumptuous. But Kerrigan avoids pitfalls largely through a flatness of affect, a way of seeing that combines a ferocity of focus with a lack of judgment. It's a testament to the filmmaker's instinctive poise and restraint that Clean, Shaven is unblinking but not voyeur­istic, poetic but not sentimental, suspenseful but not exploitative, extreme but not sensational.
