Naked

It was all the horrible nightmare I expected, but to be honest I don't know what I expected... from a film such as Naked, a lingering bad breath on cinema, the gum under a desk of Britain, the dog dung on the bottom of your shoe or as I should say an accurate description of Skegness (ew, Skegness) It's a film about disconnect and nihilism, a world that is so gonna end in 6 years so why not be a lingering fart raping and abusing as you please, this is seen through national and gender roles of men and the Brits. It's one of the most powerful social commentaries I've seen in such a shocking film Naked is a word salad and purposely and obfuscatedly pretentious the monologue just form together when we hear Johnny talk utter nonsense about barcodes and the future with such confidence and philosophical intention. It's a film that is uncomfortable, with sickeningly brilliant performances and sickenly brilliant cinematography. And a sickeningky impossible script. The film opens right into a rape scene, no warning. Just like the title this film is unmistakabley brazen and the evil rapist floats his way down to London, where he will float around more. Johnny and Jeremy are the personications of evil, they cover it all. Johnny is extremely callous and has little regard for himself others or the world, he wishes it to end and convinced himself upon that and tries to convince others. He is sarcastic, which makes this film the most poignant of dark comedies, darkest and the most comedic but Jeremy... is a real knob, stupid face, quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if many thought the same, that made me question, what seperates these rapists and the scum on earth. The philosophy, the looks, the books, screentime? I don't know, despite being scum on earth there is a slight allure to Johnny, a sort of antihero, a slight rooting for him even when we see him rape and manipulate all over the shop. We are out into the shoes of 2 girls throughout this, flatmates, Sarah and Sandra. We see their struggles with these pieces of work as they crash and break apart their home. They care for eachother throughout but also their disconnection breaking them apart. There is also a slight dystopian nudge to Naked, like a British Satantango, an idea of thatcherism sending people to such madness but a gritty realism too of recognisable characters and settings
