Clean is a 2004 low-budget film directed by French director Olivier Assayas, starring Nick Nolte and Maggie Cheung. It was jointly funded by Canada, France, and United Kingdom sources.
Cheung plays Emily Wang, a former video jockey, who has been in a tempestuous relationship with Lee Hauser (played by James Johnston of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), a rock musician, for several years. Lee's friends feel that Emily is bad for him, accusing her of being a junkie. As the film opens, the pair have arrived in Hamilton, Canada, to see Metric perform. Their young son, Jay, is living in Vancouver with Lee's parents.
Following an argument in their motel room, Emily walks out on Lee and, after taking some heroin, falls asleep in her car. When she returns to the motel the following morning, she finds that Lee has died of a drug overdose, and the Ontario Provincial Police are investigating. As Emily attempts to force her way into the room to see Lee, the Police find the heroin in her bag and she is arrested.

MARTIRIO Y REDENCIÓN Por Gustavo J. Castagna Primera aclaración: CLEAN de Olivier Assayas representa una zona de riesgo dentro del seminario sobre las relaciones del cine con el rock.

Use me as much as you can
Cause you've never been
More than a friend
Cause I try to push you away
And make myself clean
And forget you hurt me
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
Pressure, the less that I feel
The more that I heal
And put back the peices
Cause you keep taking my sould
Keep from letting it go
And setting me free
You keep bringing me down
Keep my head above ground
The ground that I lay
Cause I try myself everyday
And say it's o.k.
For bringing me pain...
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
And when I step outside this place
All I see is empty
And when I look into your face
All I see is emptiness
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
CLEAN
I don't want to be
I don't need to be
I don't want to be
