Naked (The Criterion Collection) Summary One Of The Essential Films Of The 1990s, Mike Leigh's Brilliant And Controversial "naked" Stars David Thewlis As Johnny, A Charming, Eloquent, And Relentlessly Vicious Drifter In London. Rejecting All Those Who Would Care For Him, The Volcanic Johnny Hurls Himself Into A Nocturnal Odyssey Through The City, Colliding With A Succession Of The Desperate And The Dispossessed And Scorching Everyone In His Path. With A Virtuoso Script And Raw Performances By Thewlis And Costars Katrin Cartlidge And Lesley Sharp, Leigh's Panorama Of England's Crumbling Underbelly Is A Showcase Of Black Comedy And Doomsday Prophecy, And Was The Winner Of The Best Director And Actor Prizes At The 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

In between his breakthrough film (Life Is Sweet) and his world sensation (Secrets and Lies), filmmaker Mike Leigh created his most abrasive and daring film, Naked. This "Angry Young Man" for the 1990s follows an acidic wanderer (Cannes award winner David Thewlis) who observes a corrosive Britain. An intellectual, bitter film filtered with debauchery and black humor, Naked follows the bemusing Johnny as he crosses in and out of doorways, drifting into old acquaintances and new lost souls. It is more of a character film than sheer entertainment and thus it can be hard to watch, but it offers one of the great performances of the 1990s. Thewlis would have been an Oscar shoo-in if he'd worn a tuxedo and repressed his emotions. He didn't, and his brilliant work went unrecognized in mainstream America. --Doug Thomas
