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.
This movie contains 19 potentially triggering events.
The two main characters are given a chicken, which is seen alive at first and they discuss killing it for food. In the next scene, the dead chicken is shown without a head and with most, but not all, of the feathers removed.
There’s an off-colour joke near the start about a director abusing a young actor, and some of Monty’s harassment of Marwood is presented in a comedic way
Marwood read’s Monty’s letter apologising to him for the attempted sexual assault and explaining his struggles with his homosexuality, and feels sorry for him
Off-screen they kill a chicken. There is also a poacher who has dead pheasants and eels, and leaves them some hares too. Also mention of rats being killed towards the end of the movie.
No assault occurs although one male character who is physically larger and older than another male character does enter his room while he is asleep with the intent to have sex with him. He is insistent and the younger man is clearly upset but no touching or assault takes place.
Sort of. Off-camera, a character coughs up lighter fluid he ingested by accident. It doesn’t sound like vomiting, just coughing and hysterical laughter.
