Withnail and I - Limited Edition (4K Ultra HD) (Import)

Bruce Robinson's celebrated cult comedy starring Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann. It's the end of the 1960s and two out-of-work actors, Withnail (Grant) and 'I' (McGann), subsist on a diet of booze, drugs and fags in their revolting Camden flat. In order to escape the depressing nexus of visits from their dealer and the months of untouched washing-up, they escape to the country, 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 countrypeople. 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'. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration from the original negative by Arrow Films, supervised and approved by director of photography Peter Hannan 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Original lossless mono soundtrack Optional lossless 5.1 soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Audio commentary by writer-director Bruce Robinson Audio commentary by critic and writer Kevin Jackson, author of the BFI Modern Classic on Withnail & I All four original Withnail Weekend documentaries, first screened on Channel 4 in 1999, including The Peculiar Memories of Bruce Robinson, which looks at the director’s career, Withnail & Us, which focuses on the film’s making, and two shorter documentaries, I Demand to Have Some Booze and Withnail on the Pier Interview with production designer Michael Pickwoad An appreciation of Withnail & I by Sam Bain, co-creator of Peep Show and Fresh Meat Archival interview with Bruce Robinson Theatrical trailer Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring two choices of original artwork Limited edition perfect bound book featuring writing on the film by Vic Pratt, Anthony Nield, Martin Jones, Neil Mitchell and Mike Sutton
