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.

Dirk Bogarde stars as Melville Farr, a barrister targeted by blackmailers, in noir thriller Victim (1961). Made at a time when it was illegal to be gay, Victim challenged the British film censors with an empathetic depiction of London’s gay community, and is the first film to use the word ‘homosexual’.
John Airlie, Associate Lecturer in Film and Media at Birkbeck College, University of London, joins to discuss the film.
