Country: UK
Year: 1987
Duration: 107'


The life and misfortunes of two
unemployed actors in 1969 London.
Withnail is egocentric, alcoholic, a dandy;
the narrator, the “I” from the title, is
instead more placid and reflective.
This movie, which became a cult in the
following years, is a gesture of love toward
the London of those days, to the filthy
apartments of Camden Town, to the lively
freedom of art and poetry.
