An autobiographical film that tells not only of the struggle to make Nighthawks but also of the director's life as a gay man growing up in late 20th century Britain.
Made thirteen years afer Nighthawks, this is a companion piece to Ron Peck's ground-breaking film.
It's unusual honesty marks Strip Jack Naked as not just a lucid account of the responsibilities of a gay filmmaker, but as one of the most honest and abrasive British biographies ever made.
"an anomaly: an autobiographical film whose subject is visually absent except for an occasional fuzzy snapshot ... Mr. Peck's physical remove from a project that includes many shots of other men, some of them naked, backhandedly underscores the themes of his film." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times.
