If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

"Nackt" or "Naked" is an almost 15-year-old film by Doris Dörrie, one of Germany's most influential female filmmakers. It tells us the stories of 6 people (3 couple) that are having dinner together and play a most awkward game in order to prove how good the males know the females. All 6z actors are still known here in Germany, some more and some less. Unfortunately, I never really cared for any of the characters in here or how (un)happy they were. The one exception is perhaps Alexandra Maria Lara who gave a good performance in my opinion and that is also why I thought her and Vogel were the most interesting of the bunch. Makatsch and Fürmann are two actors I consider pretty overrated, so i am not too surprised that they were the two where I really couldn't care less. Of course, their way of changing the game to make money and stir up trouble was not in their favor at all. And it was not in the filmmaker's either as it really felt as if Dörrie was realizing around the 60-minute mark that this was just a boring result, so she (ab)used the character to bring in some tension. There was almost never a sequence or dialogue that felt really authentic to me. It all felt written and fake with very few exceptions. This film's IMDb rating is not very high, but still too high, but the ones who really got it wrong were the German Film Awards back then who really considered this very pretentious and mediocre work one of the best achievements of 2002. It is not. Do not watch. I think with a better adaptation this may actually kinda work as a theatre stage play, but as a film (at least in the version we have here) it does not. Thumbs down.

If you want a real movie about love and life ,WATCH THIS! I have never had a favourite movie before but now this has become it. A simple story about 3 couples but the words are the real powerhouse here. They are so powerful, intense, real, truthful that I could NOT stop watching this movie.This movie is for people who definitely enjoy to expand their horizons, like movies that personally affect you, give you something to think about and really touches you on the inside. It was very raw and offbeat as well so you need to appreciate creativity to understand and love this movie.

I really recommend this one to everyone!If you have ever thought that you don't understand women and felt misunderstood by them you will quickly notice that this movie is exactly about this. (and vice-versa...)Camera operator should get an Oscar! Great movie!

Nackt is the story of three couples, one of which just broke up, one that seems to be about to and one perfectly okay. They are all friends and from time to time they gather to talk about everything.One time they gather for dinner at the second couple's "mansion" - the husband became rich with his business. We see each couple as they prepare themselves for the party and learn a lot about their relationships.At the dinner they get to talking about recognizing each other's peer with closed eyes and decide to try it (thus the title "Nackt"=naked in German). Nothing more to be spoiled by me. Watch it.We get really deep into the relationships of these young couples, their love, their problems and the way they try to overcome them. The movie got us thinking and probably will get you as it doesn't stick to the surface but lets its characters talk about every minor detail.The actors are quite famous in Germany and deliver a good performance. I give it 8 out of 10.
