This is a very disturbing tale of a young man, who is schizophrenic, trying to reunite with his young daughter, who was placed for adoption after her mother died and her dad was sent away. It begins with the man's escape (Peter) from the institution he's been in, and while the escape is not shown he apparently does something to a young girl who stops to look at him as he's making his break. He then heads for the small town where his mother, and he hopes, his daughter, lives. The portrayal of a schizophrenic by Peter Green is quite disturbing, he scrubs down in the shower with steel wool, he cuts his hair (and scalp?) and shaves with no mirror, apparently he can't stand to look at himself. He drives a car with all the mirrors covered and ends up staying at some small inn for a short time, after which a body mysteriously turns up. A private detective is on the trail, and it seems as though this man has a few foibles of his own. This is mostly a sort of twisted drama with enough highly uncomfortable bouts of self-mutilation and twisted behavior by the main character, Peter, to make the viewer cringe or squirm, but stick with it, because it's not exactly the feel-good movie of the year but it's highly worthwhile. Even a little sad. 9 out of 10, not for everyone but recommended for those who have a sense of adventure, I reckon.
