Clean, Shaven (1993)

Beautiful, disturbing and fascinating...an artfully composed and endlessly engrossing glimpse into the mind of a young schizophrenic.

Highly recommended.

Seconded! Amazing film. Aside from Peter Green's wonderful straight-forward, empathetic, and incredibly convicted performance, director Lodge Kerrigan created a stunning and unique cinematic technique by combining the realism of the visuals with an unhinged, dream-like soundtrack; a subjective look into what's going on in Peter's schizophrenic mind.

There's a concept in the Sanskrit philosophy of language called sphoṭa, and I think this film is a perfect example of it.

Well it is a pretty good film. But when you compare this to the likes of Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby made by the same maker, it kinda gives off the vibe of being a watered down version of Repulsion.

A pretty strong movie and holds its own identity no doubt, but Polanski set the benchmark so high with Repulsion that I dare say no other film of his would come anywhere near it.

All things aside, it still gets a rec from me.

Body of Lies. Pretty fun, typical Hollywood international espionage thriller. Ashe.
