Clean, Shaven

Clean, Shaven portrays a schizophrenic's tormented search for his daughter and their brief reunion. Plagued by hallucinations, Peter Winter flees an obscured, violent past and returns to his hometown only to discover that his daughter Nicole is deliberately being kept from seeing him. As he begins his search for her, his world becomes increasingly chaotic and he starts to self destruct. He desperately tries to "slow down" and find her, but inevitably their reunion is ill-fated. Clean, Shaven is an intense and sometimes violent first feature. Writer/director Lodge Kerrigan constructs a fractured and abrupt work that mirrors the destructive nature of schizophrenia.
