Title Best
Naked (Hopscotch Ent)R1

This film is available in Region 1 and 2. As usual the Criterion Collection Edition is the go-to for any serious fan of the film. It is a 2 DVD affair which includes:

  • New, Restored HD transfer supervised and approved by Mike Leigh
  • Audio Commentary by Leigh and actors David Thewlis and Katrin Cartlidge
  • Original Theatrical Trailer
  • Optional English subtitles for the hearing impaired
  • Exclusive new video interview with director Neil LaBute
  • The Art Zone: 'The Conversation', a BBC program featuring author Will Self interviewing Mike Leigh
  • The Short and Curlies, a 1987 short comedy directed by Leigh and starring Thewlis
  • Plus a booklet containing new essays by film critics Derek Malcolm and Amy Taubin

Whilst many of the above items could be considered interesting but not essential the audio commentary is indispensable particularly given that Cartlidge is no longer with us, after her sudden death in 2002. A clear win for Region 1. Having said that, if economics are an issue, I have seen this DVD on some store shelves for a lowly $14.92 and anyone not concerned at the lack of extras may find that to be a real bargain.
