Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A pitch-black comedy about two broke, boozy misfits that finds dark humor in desperation and stagnation. It's the kind of film that makes failure, aimlessness, and cheap wine feel somehow both tragic and hilarious.
