Synopsis

Watch: Withnail & I 1987 123movies, Full Movie Online – London, 1969 – two ‘resting’ (unemployed and unemployable) actors, Withnail and Marwood, fed up with damp, cold, piles of washing-up, mad drug dealers and psychotic Irishmen, decide to leave their squalid Camden flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside, courtesy of Withnail’s uncle Monty’s country cottage. But when they get there, it rains non-stop, there’s no food, and their basic survival skills turn out to be somewhat limited. Matters are not helped by the arrival of Uncle Monty, who shows an uncomfortably keen interest in Marwood….
Plot: Two out-of-work actors — the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail — spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday “by mistake” at the country house of Withnail’s flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.

A beautiful, dreary and funny film. At times subtle and others direct. Deeply contemplative with majestic scenery and an atmosphere of grey. Sardonic humour with believable, excellently acted characters and scenarios. It’s the greatest film about friendship and only gets better with each viewing. The direction is purely cinematic and shows rather than tells. A Masterpiece.
Review By: Arrrrrrrach

Bought this on DVD for a £2 on a second-hand market stall a couple of years ago, then upgraded it to blu-ray a few months ago when I saw it on sale in HMV for a bargaintastic three quid. Yet I’d never got around to actually watching it. I’d bought it (twice) off the back of it being this enormous cult classic weighed down with critical praise (Wiki tells me that the readers of Total Film magazine voted it the third greatest comedy film of all time in 2000 and the 13th greatest British film of all time in 2004, it was ranked 38th greatest film of all time by Channel 4 in 2001 in their 100 Greatest Films poll, an Observer poll of 60 eminent British filmmakers and critics voted it 2nd best British film of the last 25 years in 2009, it ranked 118 in Empire magazine’s list of The 500 Greatest Films of All Time in 2008). Anyways: This film has so far mugged me for a fiver. 2/10, and I’m being generous. What a pile of rubbish! “Third greatest comedy”?!? I would never EVER in a thousand years pegged it as a “comedy”, under any measurable criteria. It wasn’t just trying-yet-failing to be funny, I wasn’t even aware it was trying to be funny. Literally, the ONLY funny thing about the movie was how anyone on Earth could have thought this was a good film. Basically: It’s the late sixties, and two posh, “luvvy” actors (the titular “Withnail” and “I”, played capably enough by two posh, “luvvy” actors: Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann, respectively), living in absolute filth like a couple of retards – I mean, they don’t seem to have any understanding of how to operate, say, the kitchen sink – decide that they need to go for a break in the countryside, at a cottage owned by Withnail’s gay uncle. They go, it pisses down ceaselessy, they fail to get on with the natives simply because they’re such unlikeable morons, then the gay uncle shows up and spends the rest of the movie creepily and ceaselessly trying to gay off with Paul McGann’s unnamed “I” character. They go home, they tolerate a drug-dealer and his friend who have broken into and taken up residence in their house, “I” gets an acting job offer and takes off. The end. Utter rubbish. In fact, I’m making it sound better than it is. Reading it back, it sounds vaguely like an admittedly particularly poor episode of Bottom played dramatically rather than for laughs, and although there are shades of the Rick/Rich character that Rik Mayall has played his entire career in Richard E. Grant’s performance, Withnail & I is NOT even as good as a poor Bottom episode. And I didn’t like Bottom either, especially.

A Journey back to the 60s with George Harrison
Withnail and I is set in an old, run down student flat in London’s Camden Town at the end of the 1960’s. Withnail and I are a couple of unemployed actors from different ends of the social spectrum.

Withnail is a Harrow educated dilettante, and rather upper crust; his flatmate Marwood is a grammar school boy with a slightly more realistic outlook on life. To escape from the squalor of their grim, unemployed, existence in Camden Town, soaked in a near lethal cocktail of alcohol and drugs, the desperate pair call upon the generosity of Withnail’s uncle Montague and secure the use of his cottage in the country for a weekend.

Uncle Monty is an eccentric middle-aged homosexual, who prefers vegetables to flowers. He considers that ‘flowers are essentially tarts – prostitutes for the bees’, and wears a radish in his buttonhole in preference to a flower. He grows vegetables in pots in his Chelsea house, and makes suggestive references to ‘firm young carrots’.

Withnail (excellently played by Richard E. Grant), persuades Uncle Monty (a superb Richard Griffiths) to lend Marwood (a convincing Paul McGann) and him his cottage in the country for the weekend.

Their exploits at the cottage, and in Penrith where they spend their Wellington boot money on booze and try to sober up in a gentile tearoom are memorable, witty and entertaining. The incongruous uncle Monty reciting Baudelaire in the Cumbrian hills, seeking carnal knowledge of Marwood (apparently coerced by the cowardly and treacherous Withnail), are testament to the writing skills and humour of author and director, Bruce Robinson.

The film’s soundtrack brings us ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’, played by King Curtis on the Saxophone, ‘My Friend’ and ‘Walk hand in Hand’, performed by Charlie Kunz, ‘Schubert’s Piano Sonata in B Flat Major’ performed by Leslie Pearson, ‘All Along the Watchtower’ and ‘Voodoo Chile’, by Jimi Hendrix, ‘Hang Out the Stars in Indiana’, performed by Al Bowlly, and ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’, by the late lamented George Harrison, who provided much of the financial backing for this memorable film.

This is a thoroughly entertaining 108 minutes of humorous entertainment, a few too many drinks, a convincing 60’s atmosphere, superb performances from the excellent cast, and music to make your heart, and your guitar, gently weep. Thank you, George Harrison.

still funny, if a little sad, with very well written dialogue.
Nothing of note I can add to what has already been said of this film over the years. Suffice to say it is still funny, if a little sad, with very well written dialogue. Performances are all spot on, some uncannily so and it is difficult to remember while watching that this was made some twenty years after the period depicted. I am aware that there is a drinking game sprung up to accompany this but have to say this is not a joyous film and can only imagine any prolonged drinking alongside might prove to be a rather depressing affair.
