Russian Mike Leigh's Naked, even more straight-in-the-face, even more disturbing and more poetic though painfully honest.
Truly full-blooded cinema, although astonishing in its hyperrealism and - if I may - psychological gore.
Also, probably the only film made by woman which cannot be referred to as a "film made by woman".
Highly recommended for M.Leigh's fans, plus - for some reason it feels logical - viewers interested in WongKarWai, MikeFiggis, maybe Jon Jost. However, I have to admit - whereas being close in its impact to WKW's Happy Together, it's not as romantic as Chungking Express/FallenAngels, hardly as nostalgic as Days of Being Wild and definitely different in many ways being compared to nearly anything either Figgis or Jost have ever done. ;-)
