Withnail & I

15 yrs 107 minutes • 1987 • 7.5

This British cult film is written by Oscar-nominated Bruce Robinson and is largely inspired by his own diary. By the late 1960s, most of London had woken up from an almost collective high. However, some who remained in the decadence were Withnail and his mate. Equally unemployed and stoned, they stroll around the city until they are invited to live in Withnail's eccentric uncle's cottage in the countryside. The culture clash is grand when the two high city boys are supposed to endure among farmers, cows and plants that are apparently eaten and not smoked.
