    Content: Made with the full cooperation of the U.S. military, the beautifully filmed Another Day in Paradise simultaneously honors military service while expressing very candid reservations about war and the sacrifices required for military life. Produced by Mel Gibson̷s Icon production company, filmmaker Deborah Dickson̷s documentary is an off-shoot from Carrier, a 10-part PBS documentary series that chronicled life aboard the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. While that series was broader in scope, the ironically titled Another Day in Paradise offers a more intimately focused portrait of three sailors aboard the Nimitz for a six-month deployment to the Persian Gulf. Being away from their families takes its toll on fighter pilot Lt. Doug Booher, Sergeant Randy Brock (a young father-to-be whose son is born while he̷s away), and ordnanceman Chris Altice (who learns that his girlfriend is pregnant while he̷s still in the process of mapping out his future). The film (which looks particularly stunning in the Blu-ray version) interweaves these personal histories with scenes illustrating the rhythms and responsibilities of daily life on an aircraft carrier, combining gung-ho Top Gun machismo with a clear-eyed acknowledgment that carrier service involves a lot of dull, repetitive routine. In this atmosphere of regimented discipline, the appeal and romance of military service shines through, along with the psychological anguish of familial separation, personal sacrifice, and the uncertainty of potential battles. Paradoxically, by presenting the downsides of military service while also honoring its timeless appeal, Another Day in Paradise may be the most honest recruitment film ever made, even if that was surely not its intention. Recommended. (J. Shannon, Video Librarian)

    Content: The brilliant and controversial Naked, from director Mike Leigh, stars David Thewlis as Johnny, a charming and eloquent but relentlessly vicious drifter. Rejecting anyone who might care for him, the volcanic Johnny hurls himself around London on a nocturnal odyssey, colliding with a succession of other desperate and dispossessed people and scorching everyone in his path. With a virtuoso script and raw performances from Thewlis and costars Katrin Cartlidge and Lesley Sharp, Leigh's depiction of England's underbelly is an amalgam of black comedy and doomsday prophecy that took the best director and best actor prizes at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

    Content: Ein Arbeitsloser aus Manchester quartiert sich für zwei Tage in der Wohngemeinschaft seiner Ex-Freundin in London ein. In der Stadt begegnet er anderen "verlorenen Seelen", deren Lebensentwürfe er mit Spott und Zynismus in Frage stellt und deren vereinzelte Angebote von Zärtlichkeit und Offenheit er nicht anzunehmen weiß. Episodisch angelegtes, apokalyptisch anmutendes Porträt der englischen Gesellschaft, in der Isolation und Hoffnungslosigkeit den Ton angeben. Zugleich die brillant gespielte Studie einer hinter Sarkasmus und Aggressivität gefangenen Persönlichkeit. Formal hervorragend und in seinem vorurteilsfreien Blick auf gesellschaftliche Randexistenzen überzeugend. (Kinotipp der katholischen Filmkritik) - Sehenswert. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)
