Description:

One of the essential films of the 1990s, Mike Leigh’s brilliant and controversial Naked stars David Thewlis as a 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 disposessed and scorching everyone in his path. With a virtuoso script and raw performances by Thewlis and costars Katrin Cartlidge and Lesely Sharp, Leigh’s panorama of England’s crumbling underbelly is a showcase black comedy and doomsday prophecy, and was winner of the best director and actor prizes prizesat the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.
