Bruce Robinson's celebrated cult comedy starring Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann. It's the end of the 1960s and two out-of-work actors, Withnail (Grant) and 'I' (McGann), subsist on a diet of booze, drugs and fags in their revolting Camden flat. In order to escape the depressing nexus of visits from their dealer and the months of untouched washing-up, they escape to the country, with the intention of getting some R and R at a cottage owned by Withnail's uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths). However, things do not exactly go as planned, Withnail being particularly unsuited to the quiet social mores of countrypeople. The pair's friendship starts to become sorely tested amid the vicissitudes of their 'holiday'. More ominously, uncle Monty appears in person seemingly with something of an eye for 'I'.

  • One of the best cult movies of all time.

    This is a tale of a couple of guys with high aspirations for their creative talents but with little actually going for them. It tells us of a few weeks in their crazy lives and begins and ends in the City where they share a truly grotty flat that resembles the set in the TV series, The Young Ones. Yes. That gruesome! But it's brillliantly acted by Paul McGann and Richard E Grant who surely must have experienced living this way at some point in their lives! (But the life they portray is so realistic of that era.) A 'holiday' in the Lake District gets them away from the drudgery of the City into a very different drudgery of dark, watery and remote farmland. Alongside the hilarity though, there is a thread of the sadness and despair surrounding their lives. (Richard Griffiths' supporting role as a bit of a 'wealthy' gay relative is simply superb.)

    Unique. Sad. Tragic. Life affirming. Hilarious.
