"Even though it is set at the tail end of the sixties, even though it ostensibly laments the passing of an era (or an idea thereof), Withnail and I’s true greatness is that it has a wider scope. It’s a reflection of a universal: giving up, going straight, getting your hair cut, letting go of a childish dream and becoming a proper human being. And also an elegy for those of us who never quite manage it, I suppose."
