Withnail and I (1987)
We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!
I demand to see this film. That’s what they would have said.
It’s the late 1960's. Two unemployed (and unemployable) broke British actors, Withnail (Richard E Grant) and his best friend I (Paul McGann) take a holiday to the country. This pointed black comedy follows the actors' misadventures as the trip quickly turns into a nightmare, thanks in large part to Withnail's uncle Monty (played by the late, great and much missed Richard Griffiths).
Queen's Park will host what Xan Brooks of the Guardian describes as “at once a coming-of-age comedy and a fond farewell to an era”, and it still resonates in 2015 just as it did nearly 30 years ago.
