Naked

by Mike Leigh

No one has laid bare the troubled complexity of contemporary society better than Mike Leigh. Naked, treads an intricate path through a London that many people would prefer to ignore. Johnny is the ultimate anti-hero of the nineties - cold, cynical and immoral, yet at times both caring and passionate. His complex existence is sketched with the hand of the master, as violence and gentleness, comedy and tragedy go hand in hand through a landscape inhabited by the sort of characters only Mike Leigh can create.

Mike Leigh's most philosophical and satirical work as manic depressive misogynist nihilist Johnny amusingly pontificates on life in between treating women like crap.

Vulgar but still worth a read.

Naked has consumed my every thought since I watched it so naturally getting to enjoy it in this format too was lovely. I really loved having the photos accompany the script.
