iNaked uses real events, a leading artist in the modern People's Republic of China played by himself, and one of his most famous sculptural exhibits to make direct comments on events in the PRC and on the fragility of life especially as lived by those on the financial edge. This is an art house type production. It seems roughly edited with blank screens and interruptions in the sound. Or these may all be deliberate effects.
