Withnail and I is a British black comedy film made in 1986 by HandMade Films. Written and directed by Bruce Robinson, it is based on his life in London in the late 1960s.
Well what a film! Till today i hadn't even heard of this film and now it is on my top ten film list. The wit throughout this film is fantastic keeping me laughing throughout.
Richard E Grant plays the role of withnail fantastically with a real believability about him. The film evoked many emotions for me and i did feel very sorry for Paul McGann's character 'I' especially during the comic infatuation of uncle Monty. The humour within the film is obvious and subtle at the same time leaving the viewer with an ultimate desire to repeat funny quotes from the film.
Essentially this film is a classic Black comedy that is timeless. The characters are real and that is why they are so humorous. I was left feeling happy and satisfied with the film which meant a good ending, i cannot abide a film that doesn't have a finality about it. It also left me with some awesome quotes and some that will create curiosity and laughter as i post them as my facebook status.
Overall i would recommend anyone to watch this film it is a cult classic and it should be acknowledged for what it is.
