The Naked is very different and shocking, December 20, 2007
The Naked (Golasy) is very different and there is something very shocking about it. All of the people in this movie are naked. This includes both women and men -- young, old, fat and lean. It is a story about office workers and their usual and unusual daily activities. All of the events in this Polish film take place in one day, mostly in a one-room office.
The Naked creates a strong feeling like you are watching theater. Considering that this is the first film all the actors stared in, I was impressed that they created this feeling. Even though they are amateurs, they didn't appear to be shy or distracted by each other's nudity. The viewer, on the other hand, will have quite a hard time not being distracted.
Even though everyone in this film is naked, there is no sex. They act like each other's nudity is normal and may comment on another's appearance, but their comments are not erotic. In a way, The Naked comes closer to resemble art than it does pornography because it takes this approach.
The women in the office don't do much real work but chatter and gossip away all day. A few women and several men, who bring the drama with them, visit our "hard working" office girls. The events that ensue range from the mundane to the ridiculous but most of what they do is funny.
I have to give The Naked a lot of credit for being original. It's a very funny movie that made my face hurt from laughing and smiling so much. If you are looking for something very different, enjoy the theater or ever wondered what the world would look like if no one wore clothes, then The Naked is for you. All in all, it is a very shocking film filled with a lot of humor.
