Withnail & I

Acerbic and irresistibly self-destructive Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and neurotic Marwood (Paul McGann) are down-at-the-heels actors in 1960s London, living in self-inflicted squalor and drowning their artistic frustrations with booze and any drugs they can get their hands on. Fleeing the doldrums – and unpaid bills – of the city, the pair finds themselves stuck in the less than idyllic country cottage of Withnail’s lascivious uncle Monty. The boundaries of friendship are outrageously tested by hunger, the hostile locals and Monty’s amorous advances in Director Bruce Robinson’s semi-autobiographical cult favorite.
