Full Monty













The Full Monty is a 1997 British comedy film. It tells the story of six unemployed men, four of them former steel workers, who decide to form a male striptease act (Chippendale dancers) in order to gather enough money to get somewhere else and for main character Gaz to be able to see his son. Gaz declares that their show will be better than the Chippendales dancers because they will go "the full monty" — strip all the way — hence the film's title. Despite being a comedy, the film also touches on serious subjects such as unemployment, fathers' rights, depression, impotence, homosexuality, working class culture and suicide. The film was rated a 15 in Britain for frequent strong language. The Full Monty is set in Sheffield, England and was directed by Peter Cattaneo.

‘Iconography refers to visual motifs that allows audiences to identify certain films as belonging to certain genre’ – the casual clothing, smoking, swearing all link to the working class
