Withnail and I is a British black comedy film about two unemployed actors living in squalor in 1969 London. Withnail is a reckless, alcoholic, and cynical man while 'I' is more sensitive and introspective. The film follows their misadventures as they escape to the countryside for a holiday that goes awry, exploring themes of friendship, addiction, and the struggles of artistic ambition.
