Synopsis

Camden Town, the end of the sixties and two out-of-work actors, Withnail (Grant) and 'I' (McGann), subsist on a diet of booze, drugs and fags in their revolting flat. In order to escape the depressing nexus of visits from their dealer and the months of untouched washing-up, they escape to the Lake District, with the intention of getting some R and R at a cottage owned by Withnail's uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths).

However, things do not exactly go as planned, Withnail being particularly unsuited to the quiet social mores of country people. The pair's friendship starts to become sorely tested amid the vicissitudes of their 'holiday'. More ominously, uncle Monty appears in person seemingly with something of an eye for 'I'.

7/10

The choice of music in the film enhances the sense of escapism and desperation felt by Withnail and 'I' as they try to escape their mundane lives. The songs used throughout the film help to convey the emotional turmoil and strained relationships between the characters, adding depth to the storyline.

8/10

The soundtrack of Withnail & I perfectly captures the mood and atmosphere of the film's setting in Camden Town and the Lake District. The music sets the tone for the characters' chaotic lifestyle, filled with booze, drugs, and cigarettes.
