Naked: The Criterion Collection [Blu-ray] Reviews

Britain’s “angry young man” of the 1960s has been reincarnated from top to bottom in Mike Leigh’s Naked. A social treatise-existential meditation-barking condemnation combination of thoughts and feelings, Naked does indeed lay bare the anguish and frustration of a generation of young Britishers caught between making do and wanting more from their very existences. It’s a long, painful film to watch in many ways, but with the expert Mr. Leigh at the forefront of writing and directing, it’s sometimes funny, always interesting, and sometimes even riveting.
