Withnail & I

The last great Independent British Movie
Virtuakd - wrote on 03/12/08

Funny, original and fiercely Independent, Withnail & I is a truly unique film with a great cast and a truly inspired premise.... Its 1969... London... and we meet our two out-of-work, out-of-money and nearly completely out-of-their minds actor protagonist (I... you never do learn his name) and antagonist (Withnail played by the brilliant Richard E. Grant). Who proceed to spend the entire movie welching off Withnails flamboyantly closeted Rich Uncle and their profoundly poetic drug dealer as they very slowly are drawn emotionally apart. George Harrison happened to Exec. Produce this little piece of mastery. Make sure you catch it on the Criterion Collection DVD. Don't miss this one. You won't be sorry.
