The film "Naked" directed by Mike Leigh in 1993 is probably as significant to the British film scene as the subsequent 1995 "Training" and other films. It is also one of the representative works of the British film renaissance in the 1990s. The film tells the story of a cynical and educated homeless Johnny who interacts with a series of fringe figures in British society during two days of wandering around. Johnny has a set of his own philosophy, dialogue with everyone he meets, endless discussions about life, religion, time, space, fate... The so-called nakedness in the title means that these marginal characters are completely exposed to the cruel society and have no status. , Identity, property, and spiritual sustenance. Simply put, there is no shelter or protection physically and mentally.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize and Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The English accent in the film is very strange, London is dark, gloomy, and humid. The whole film feels like unmodified raw materials, rough in texture but real enough to make people feel the sensation and tenderness it brings to you. It is said that the entire script is only 25 pages. Many shots are improvisations by actors. Unfortunately, there are no subtitles, and some dialogues are extremely difficult to understand.
