Withnail & I
“If you don't remember the 60s don't worry, neither can they.”
ComedyDrama
Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
VIBE
A hilariously bleak, yet strangely cozy, descent into the lives of two unemployed actors. It's a masterclass in witty dialogue and existential despair, punctuated by copious amounts of alcohol and a grimly beautiful English landscape.
