(aka "Mike Leigh's Naked" )
directed
by Mike Leigh
UK 1993
Naked is the angriest, most bitterly critical attack on the false values of society that Mike Leigh, Britain’s constant chronicler of the tragic comedy of desperate lives, has ever made. Its audacity is that the attack is mounted through a central character of whom few would approve. Johnny (David Thewlis) is, in fact, a classic antihero, who blasts away at the hypocrisy inherent in the Britain of the immediate post-Thatcher era much like a latter-day version of John Osborne’s Jimmy Porter. Yet such is the power of the film that Leigh is also able to include, without in any way seeming to placate his audience, moments of compassion, gentleness, and humor, which prevent Naked from seeming merely a bilious, if gloriously eloquent, rant. It is not just that. In fact, it is one of the greatest, most memorable, if decidedly uncomfortable, British films not only of its decade but of the entire second half of the twentieth century.

This is a
no brainer. A must own DVD of a very important film. The image is very
sharp and balanced - not surprising for a near superbit quality transfer. I
have nothing but good things to say about the transfer and the source
print. Audio is only two channel (original) but is every bit as clean as the image.
The commentary, trailer and the short film, The Short and Curlies, are holdovers from the original Criterion laserdisc. The rest of the supplements are new including a video interview with Neil LaBute done exclusively for this release. Another standard setting DVD from the folks at Criterion. Our highest recommendation. |
