Began to watch the outstanding film of the British director Mike Lee “Naked” (Naked) / Naked, 1993 (awards at Cannes for Best Director and Best Actor), after half an hour of viewing turned off, because the characters caused just rejection, there was no mood to watch. But then I decided to look.
The main character - a very strange young man Johnny (David Thewlis) escapes in a stolen car from Manchester to London, as the girl he fucked on the street in a rather cruel manner, promised to incite those who will pay him for it, and declares to his ex-girlfriend, who was stupid to send him a postcard with his address, although they broke up. There he continues to behave in the same rude manner - both in terms of vocabulary and behavior, and immediately copulates with a stoned girl Sophie, who lives in a rented apartment with his ex, who then finds them together in an almost insane state. The next day he goes to the city, starting his journey from one contact to another with different people. At the same time, we can finally become convinced of his mentally unstable state by listening to his constant reasoning on a variety of topics, which give him some intelligence and even the presence of some education, which, however, do not prevent him from getting further and further off the rails, although sometimes something human can flash slightly. I must say that the people with whom he communicates, not far from him in this regard. I cannot say that I enjoyed watching all of them, but I think that such people meet in life, sympathize with those who have had to deal with them, although this is still a certain social stratum, into which for a moment the most perfect bastard from a higher class, the owner of the house, is rubbed. The director, of course, is free to choose what and how to make a movie, he does not hesitate in choosing the means, showing us his characters in such an unsightly way with all his inherent causticity, it is possible that it was designed for the reaction that the film caused me. What I can agree with is that Tulis played wonderfully.
