naked by mike leigh is hands down the bleakest and most depressing film ever (imho) [/Qoute]
OK, I know that a person's of a film or any creative work for that matter will be shaped by their view of the world, their expectations and their experiences but that film was hilarious! Now it was blackly comic and not everyone likes that and most of the characters in the film were in a dead end in one way or another, plus the nasty landlord but Johnny is one of the best British tragicomic creations to be put on film in my opinion. He's a pretty troubled guy to say the least but almost everything he says, including rants, is at least engaging, if not hilarious.

Johnny : You're beep givin' it aweh!

No, but its quite certainly the most hysteria-stricken movie Ive ever seen. And it also gives Raising Arizona a good run for its money as a film with the most yelling in it.
It IS undeniably bleak and unforgiving, though.

I was affected by this film and feeling depressed for days after watching it I've watched it several times since and it always leaves me with this uncomfortable, empty feeling. But I guess that's also part of its magnificence.
