Review of Naked (1993) by Jluis_001 — 30 Oct 2022
Although it doesn't look like it, Naked is a chaotic film. Chaotic not in the sense of disorder, but in the sense of anxiety and suffocation.
David Thewlis is nothing short of spectacular. All the praise for this performance of his is finally understood, while Mike Leigh's direction is so sharp it cuts deep.
Most impressive of all is that it's not about caring or empathizing with the characters. It's just a recreation of a reality, of a time and a place. And even though it was made almost 3 decades ago, the moral rot that it exposes would apply perfectly in any place and in any current era.
What an impressive film.
