Withnail and I

Two unemployed actors in 1960s London—acerbic, elegantly wasted Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and the anxiety-ridden "I" (Paul McGann)—drown their frustrations in booze, pills, and lighter fluid. When Withnail's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage, the pair escape their squalid flat for a week in the country, but soon realize they’ve gone on holiday by mistake when their wits and friendship are sorely tested by violent downpours, inhospitable locals, and empty cupboards. An intelligent, superbly acted, and hilarious film, Bruce Robinson’s semi-autobiographical cult favorite is presented here in its complete and uncut version.
