About this product

Product Information

Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical account of his early years as an actor has become a 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 story 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. Though not much happens in terms of plot, WITHNAIL AND I is one of the most subtly hilarious films to come out of 1980s.

ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - Never before had the antics of two boozers been portrayed as charmingly and unapologetically as in Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical story, Los Angeles Times - ...WITHNAIL AND I is as good to look at as it is to listen to.....A knockout directorial debut..., New York Times - A small, wise, breezy footnote [to the 1960's]....Genuinely funny, Empire - [T]his remains essential cinema for newcomers, but beyond nostalgia there's plenty to come back to, like the gorgeously grotty production design, Sight And Sound - [I]t crackles with stoner wit and despairing self-indulgence, and confirms Richard E. Grant's caddish and cowardly sot Withnail as one of English film's great grotesques, Variety - ...The humor is both brutal and clever, and the acting uniformly excellent...

  • Great Film

    I had forgotten so much about this film after so many years but it is so well acted and entertaining plus the scenery and cult status it now attracts makes catch up view well worthwhile

  • Great Film But Disappointingly Mastered Transfer

    Classic film bought on Blue Ray as the visuals on my DVD copy were rather ropey and I hoped for way better resolution and tonal rendering, bringing the landscapes and interiors to life. Sadly there is only a marginal improvement when viewed on 1080hd plasma, obviously from the same master as the dvd. Still a great film though.
