Withnail & I
Movie • 1987 • Comedy
ReportTwo 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.

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.

No, but there are several scenes where characters are almost nude, or are but the camera doesn’t show it (e.g. in a bath).

In one scene a male character briefly wears makeup, but no character makes fun of him and I’m not sure if it supposed to be presented as a joke or not.

Withnail secretly talks about Marwood’s sexuality to Monty (although Marwood is unaware at the time and states later that he isn’t gay).
Also not really being “outed” but Marwood immediately assumes Monty is gay.

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.
