Clean and Sober on Blu-ray

Academy Award winners Michael Keaton and Morgan Freeman star in this gritty and critically-acclaimed drama, directed by Glen Gordon Caron (Moonlighting). Keaton portrays Daryl Pointer, a hustling Philadelphia real estate agent with a serious cocaine addiction and a life that is quickly unraveling. He has embezzled and lost $100,000 from his employer. And then he wakes up with a girl dead of a drug overdose in his bed. Daryl checks himself into a substance abuse program, intending only to hide for a while. Plans change when he meets Craig (Freeman), a counselor who has already heard every excuse Daryl can offer, and develops a relationship with a recovering alcoholic and battered wife named Charlie (Kathy Baker, in an unforgettable performance). The story unfolds as Darryl's life begins to change... hopefully for the better. Keaton's portrayal of Daryl Pointer earned him a Best Actor award from the National Society of Film Critics, and the film itself won critical praise. More than 35 years after it's premiere, CLEAN AND SOBER is a film ripe for rediscovery.
