Description
[Machine Translation] Can you hear me...? A mixed line of souls wandering beyond the noise tears at the heart of the viewer. This is the first disc release in Japan of this solitary work that will leave you at a loss for what to do. Lodge Kerrigan's first film as a director was released in 1993, a shocking work that plunges the viewer into a sad nihilism with its one-of-a-kind visual expression covered in noise. The restrained tone of the film's main character's eye-covering behavior gives the viewer a sense of exhaustion so great that it is said that watching the film is torture in itself. The sense of frustration sticks in your mind for the rest of your life and will never leave you. Starring Peter Green of "Pulp Fiction" (1994) and "The Usual Suspects" (1995), who is known as a character actor. After its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, USA, the film was officially entered in the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival, and was praised for its unforgettable expressiveness by directors such as Steven Soderbergh, Darren Aronofsky and John Waters. The film was first shown in Japan as a late show in 1996, and was suddenly revived 25 years later in August 2021, giving viewers an opportunity to reevaluate the film, which features a mentally ill person as its protagonist, both as a story and as a human being, from a new and dispassionate perspective. Those who saw the film were once again drowned in a flood of monstrous radio waves, horrified by the gaze and thoughts of the unseen, frightened by all possibilities, and at a loss for what to do. Clean, Shaven" is a vivid, sad, and cruel film that looks at the absurdity of the world through the eyes of those whose hearts are dead and those whose hearts are not. --Peter believes that he has a receiver in his head and a transmitter in his finger. After his release from an institution, he returns to his hometown to look for his foster daughter. But when he is pursued by detectives for the murder of an infant, his world becomes increasingly chaotic...
