This review is from: Naked and Other Screenplays (Paperback)

Naked is such a good movie; I could never praise it enough. So is it's script, naturally. Only in the script, you achieve an even greater experiece, since most of Mike leigh's genious lies in the depth of his dialogs. For those who find thie movie a life-altering experience like I do, to read the script is a must.

Brilliant, incisive, abstract, artlessly perspicacious...Naked is one of the most fascinating films I've ever seen, built and developed on a series of dichotomies and contradictions. For any fan of the movie, or for any Mike Leigh connoisseur, I'd definitely recommend purchasing this book - especially since the price is a mere pittance. The screenplay and the interviews are both fascinating reads.
