Withnail And I 4K Ultra HD

Camden Town, the arse-end of the sixties. Two struggling, unemployed actors decide some respite is in order and so depart their miserable flat for a week in the Lake District – one that will involve rain, booze, minimal supplies, a randy bull and an even randier Uncle Monty. Based on the real-life experiences of writer-director Bruce Robinson, Withnail & I has become one of British cinema’s most fondly remembered comedies.

Perfectly cast with career-defining roles for Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths and Ralph Brown, the film is crammed with irresistibly quotable dialogue. A cult film in the truest sense that has also become a classic, Withnail & I remains a sheer delight even on repeated viewings.
