   It’s a cornucopia of quotable lines and yes, as the OP alludes to, it is a brilliant portrayal of being skint in your 20’s with two much drinking and drugging going on. <SPOILER> The pathos at the end when you realise that Withnail (who can’t get an acting job) is a brilliant actor and would make an incredible Dane. Heartbreaking moment. 31.

   Mar 25, 2009 · Withnail could possibly have become a comic drunk in the wrong hands. Richard E. Grant never, ever, not for a second, breaks character; he is relentlessly wounded and aggressive. He never goes too far, he never relaxes, he aims at the end of the movie and charges. Paul McGann, as Marwood, reflects a tenuous grip on reality. And he makes the ...

   Oct 8, 2024 · For the most part, writer-director Bruce Robinson’s semi-autobiographical comedy-drama is simply about two 20-something, out of work actors – Richard E Grant ’s Withnail and Paul McGann’s ‘I’, named Marwood in the script. The pair go on holiday by mistake, they drink too much, they bicker, they carefully manoeuvre their way around ...

   Does 'Withnail' get better with time?

   Is Withnail based on a true story?

   • More significantly, Withnail and I may well be the ultimate film about student life, even though the characters aren’t students. The film was based on the experiences of writer-director Bruce Robinson as a penniless actor in the 1960s (Credit: Alamy)

   Was Withnail And I a blockbuster?

   • As revered as Withnail and I has become, it was never destined to be a blockbuster. Neither McGann nor Grant had been in a film before, and while its writer-director, Bruce Robinson, had been Oscar-nominated for his screenplay for The Killing Fields, this was his first shot at directing. Another issue was the almost total absence of a plot.
