Naked (1993) stars David Thewlis as Johnny, a charming and articulate but vicious misfit, drifting around London on a nocturnal odyssey, colliding with a succession of desperate and dispossessed characters. Mike Leigh’s script is scintillating and it’s arguably his best directorial work too. The film won the best director and best actor prizes at the Cannes Film Festival.
Alonso Ruizpalacios, writer-director of Gueros (2014), Museo (2018), A Cop Movie (2021) and La Cocina (2024), joins to discuss the film.

When his wife admits to having fantasies about another man, Dr Bill Harford becomes obsessively jealous and finds himself on a psychosexual odyssey through an erotic underworld in Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Kubrick cast married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman and recreated New York City on a Pinewood studios backlot in the longest shoot in film history. Eyes Wide Shut confounded many on its initial release, but over time has proven to be worthy of as much study and acclaim as any of Kubrick’s masterpieces.
Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude, joins to discuss the film. Jonathan’s latest book, Cellophane Bricks: A Life in Visual Culture, is available now from Ze Books.
