Adrien Brody carries Clean, a lean American drama from director Paul Solet that runs a brisk 90 minutes and sits in the catalogue as a 2020 title.
What is Clean about?
Clean is a compact, performance-led feature rather than a sprawling ensemble piece. It keeps its attention on one central figure and the handful of people in his orbit, and it uses a short running time to stay focused instead of branching into subplots. The production is American and modest in scale, so the weight falls on acting, mood and setting more than on spectacle. Anyone starting it cold should expect a serious drama aimed at adult viewers, told at a deliberate pace and built around a single lead performance.
About the cast
Adrien Brody heads the cast list, followed by Glenn Fleshler, Richie Merritt, Chandler Ari DuPont, Michelle Wilson, John Bianco, Dinora Walcott and Mykelti Williamson. It is a small company for a feature, which suits a story that stays close to its lead: the supporting players are there to press on the central character from different sides rather than to carry storylines of their own. Viewers who follow American character actors will recognise several of these names from other film and television work.
Context & significance
Paul Solet is the credited director. The film belongs to a familiar strand of American independent drama: short, tightly framed, and dependent on a well-known lead to hold the screen for most of the running time. At an hour and a half it is one of the shorter features in the drama section, which makes it an easy choice for a single evening. The catalogue lists the United States as the country of production and files the title under drama. K-Time carries it with both a Persian dub and Persian subtitles, so it can be watched in Farsi audio or in the original English with Farsi text on screen.
