Naked (1993)

Naked

Johnny is nothing like anyone else, and following him is an interesting exercise in Mike Leigh's acclaimed movie. Add several interesting supporting characters, and Naked is a movie you'll not forget to easily.

David Thewlis is brilliant in the lead, and almost every support raise to the challenge presented. None more so than Lesley Sharpe who brings layers to her character that is essential for the movie.

This is a movie I'll have to watch again to fairly rate it, much like everything I've seen of Kieslowski and most of the Coen brothers work, but after first viewing I'm sure Naked's praise is anything but undeserved. The dialogue is rapid and deep, without ever becoming cheesy or Hallmark wisdom, and is along with the interesting characters the driving force.
