Bleak Cinema presents NAKED
Caught between calamities, perpetual parasite Johnny (David Thewlis) drifts across London with reeking misanthropy. He ambles and rambles from one flat to another, waxing prophetic about impending apocalypse.
Many consider this controversial Cannes-success to be English director Mike Leigh’s representative work. Naked exemplifies Leigh’s transparent understanding of human behavior. Johnny, though a truly singular scumbug, embodies universally recognizable hues of agony, alienation, and malice. In the film’s rotten corridors, everyday desolation is laid bare, visible, naked.
