Naked is a 1993 British black comedy-drama film written and directed by Mike Leigh and starring David Thewlis as Johnny, a motor-mouthed intellectual and conspiracy theorist.

Leigh's "Naked" screenplay relied heavily on lengthy improvisation during rehearsals, but little actual ad-libbing was filmed.  Critically acclaimed, the film won a number of awards, including best director and best actor at Cannes.  "Naked" marked a new career high for Leigh as a director and made the then-unknown Thewlis an internationally recognized star.
