CULT MOVIE:WITHNAIL AND I(1987).


Although accurate, to describe Withnail and I  as a story about two 1960s unemployed actors who share a disastrous holiday in the country, does  nothing to convey the achingly brilliant perfomances, script and direction of one of the funniest  British movies of all time.It was not a huge succesS when it first came out, but has since been re-evaluated, partly due to the inspired supporting role of Uncle Monty, played with treacherous pathos by Richard Griffiths. It would be hard to pinpoint wich substance comes in for the most abuse (alcohol and lighter fluid feature, among others) but it's the scene with Danny the drugdealer (Ralph Brown), rolling his multi-Rizla super-spliff, The Camberwell Carrot, that most people remember.
