Leave your thoughts about The Naked Civil Servant.
| Times (UK)Kate MuirThanks to Hurt's extraordinary performance -- soft-skinned, red-lipped and determined to fight politely for his rights -- it still seems relevant and not just an exercise in nostalgia. |
| Gay EssentialAlistair RyderThe Naked Civil Servant is camp and unabashedly so - but it has far more going on beneath the surface, and helped usher in more nuanced portrayals of LGBT people and culture in the years to come. |
| User ReviewLee Ma tour de force performance from John Hurt and well made production all round |
| User ReviewLinda BBased on the autobiography of Mr. Quentin Crisp, this TV Serial/ film was originally broadcast in 1975 - is still a trailblazing piece of television. Definitely worth a watch, although not for the easily offended. Awe inspiring performance by John Hurt Superb acting. Highly recommended. 5 stars without a doubt. |
| User ReviewAmy RExcellent production! I knew John Hurt was a great actor, but watching TNCS I realised he is much better than I thought. Absolute brilliance, his performance is pure gold. |
| User ReviewScott SI'd intended to see this movie for years and finally had a chance while home sick. I've always been a fan of John Hurt since his performance in The Elephant Man - he may even be better in this film. The movie focuses on the quirky British gay icon Quentin Crisp. Quentin defines the stereotype flaming homosexual and the movie provides a fascinating look at his life - how he never changed for an ignorant society but was always true to himself. I loved how the movie was directed and narrated. Outstanding film! |
| User ReviewBenjamin SSuperb performance by John Hurt and the film does a great job of adapting Crisp's biting novel about his life in England and the hardships he faced by just being himself. A wonderful film and very moving. |
| User ReviewErnest FExcellent... John Hurt is brilliant in his portrayal of a fascinating great English eccentric and humanist! Quentin Crisp is quite simply an original! |
| User ReviewAdam HAn incredible TV movie, based on Crisps fantastic book of the same name. This movie was a real turning point for gay people and John Hurt is faultless as Crisp. Love it!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UVery good. I suspected that it might have aged and become yet another ground-breaking film from the 70s that has since lost its sting - far from it. John Hurt was excellent. |
