Additional InformationWriter and director Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical account of his early years as an actor has become a comedy cult hit of massive proportions, inspiring countless numbers of young men and women to quote stars Paul McGann and Richard E. Grant and their booze-soaked dialogue, the latter of whom was actually a teetotaller. The story of this melancholic comedy follows these two unemployed actors in 1969 London, as they take a holiday in the country. Trapped inside a dank, empty cabin with each other, an endless downpour of heavy rain battering their roof, the two men form a complicated bond fuelled by booze, disaster, and nihilism. Focusing on characterisation, WITHNAIL AND I is a subtly hilarious 1980s British film.
