“This is ridiculous. Look at me, I’m 30 in a month and I’ve got a sole flapping off my shoe.” It’s 1969, and twentysomething unemployed actor Marwood (Paul McGann) and his best friend Withnail (Richard E. Grant, in a career-defining performance) share a squalid London apartment and a serious drinking habit. Desperate for a change of scenery (and escape from the alarming mold propagating in their sink), the pair visit the English countryside, where they must reckon with bad weather, hostile locals, a lecherous uncle (Richard Griffiths), along with the growing distance in their dysfunctional and co-dependent relationship. Widely considered one of the greatest cult films ever made, Bruce Robinson’s bleakly funny and endlessly quotable British comedy landmark is presented in a new 4K restoration.
“A devastating portrayal of that terrifying moment when adulthood finally catches up with you.” – The Guardian
