- Wim Wenders
- "From Oscar-nominated writer/director Wim Wenders comes this exhilerating and life-affirming tale that won him the 1987 Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival and inspired City of Angels. Co-written with Peter Handke, this enchanting film about the joy of life is 'that rare thing...a work of true originality.' Daniel is a lonely angel who roams the streets of Berlin providing comfort to mortals in need. But when he is drawn into the life of a beautiful--and troubled--trapeze artist, he experiences love for the first time and does everything in his power to be seen, heard and felt by her. Jeopardizing his divine position, Damiel is faced with a most difficult decision, either give up love...or lose his eternal wings forever."

- Mike Leigh
- "Mike Leigh's brilliant and controversial Naked stars David Thewlis as Johnny, a charming, eloquent, and relentlessly vicious drifter on the lam in London. Rejecting all those who would care for him, the volcanic Johnny hurls himself into a nocturnal odyssey through the city, colliding with a succession of the desperate and the dispossessed, and scorching everyone in his path. With a virtuoso script and raw performances from Thewlis and costars Katrin Cartridge and Lesley Sharpe, Leigh's panorama of England's crumbling underbelly is a showcase of black comedy and doomsday phrophesy, and was the winner of the best director and actor prizes at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival
