Withnail & I

Screening Dates:
Fri 17 October 8:45pm

Director: Bruce Robinson
Cast: Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann

Set in the 1960′s, Withnail & I is an intelligent, superbly acted and hilarious film. Two unemployed actors, the acerbic, elegantly wasted Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and the anxiety-ridden Marwood (Paul McGann), drown their frustrations in booze, pills and lighter fluid.

When Withnail’s Uncle Monty offers his cottage, they escape the squalor of their London flat for a week in the country, but soon realise they have gone on holiday by mistake when their wits and friendship are sorely tested by violent downpours, less-than-hospitable locals and empty cupboards.
