This Sunday 18th October, the Cornerhouse in Manchester will be screening one of the best British cult classics from the 1980's. Withnail and I (Cert 15) stars Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths & Ralph Brown.
The film tells the story of two actors: Withnail, played by Richard E. Grant in his breakout performance and "I" portrayed by Paul McGann. Both of them drown their frustrations & sorrows with alcohol and drugs but upon hearing that Withnail's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) has offered them his cottage, they escape there for some form of hopeful splendor. Not all is as easy as planned as constant rain and a lack of food may prove that Withnail and his trusty companion don't have what it takes to survive in the English Countryside.
Empire Magazine calls Withnail and I "Incredibly Funny - *****"
The screening takes place at Midday this Sunday. Tickets can be purchased here online or from the Cornerhouse Box Office.
