Nighthawks 2: Strip Jack Naked
Ron Peck’s experimental follow up to the groundbreaking Nighthawks is both a making-of documentary and a deeply personal film memoir.
Documentary 1991 91 mins
Director: Ron Peck
Overview
Made thirteen years after Britain’s first major gay film Nighthawks, Strip Jack Naked puts the earlier film into a historical and personal context, with director Ron Peck drawing on his own journey from closeted suburban teen to politically radicalised filmmaker. A lucid account of the responsibilities of a gay filmmaker and one of the most honest and abrasive British biographies ever made.
