Naked
I'm about to re-watch the Mike Leigh film Naked tonight starring David Thewlis. I'll go ahead and give it my 10/10 rating because I remember how phenomenal this film is...well, if you're into this sort of thing. David Thewlis is su-perb! Totally enchanting in his own fucked-up way. I love all of Mike Leigh's films, but this is by far my favorite. Incredible script! I'm really excited to sit down and watch it again, but a little dismayed to see that the copy from Netflix doesn't have subtitles...most of the characters have very thick accents and I was hoping to watch it with the subtitles. Oh well...
This is a movie I definitely need to own.
They have a lot of clips on YouTube, here's the trailer and one of my favorite bits of dialogue:
