Withnail and I (2025 Restoration)
If you don't remember the 60s don't worry, neither can they.
Withnail and I (2025 Restoration)
London. The 1960s. Two unemployed actors—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 flamboyantly gay Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage, they escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country. They soon realize they’ve gone on holiday by mistake when their wits—and friendship—are sorely tested by violent downpours, less than hospitable 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.
“There is a certain kind of movie that gets praised not so much because of its virtues as because, in some strange way, we suspect that no one would ever dare make its like again. ‘Withnail and I’ is one of those enterprises.” (Guardian UK)
“If the film belongs to anyone, it is Richard E. Grant, who takes the dissolute and mannered character of Withnail and creates a Wildean creature of tragi-comic proportions, the like of which has not been seen in a British film for some time.” (London Evening Standard)
“‘Withnail and I’ is not the whole story of the 60’s. It’s a small, wise, breezy footnote.” (New York Times)
“Self-destruction has never been more articulate or refreshingly amusing.” (Toronto Star)
