The film, which is consistently included in the top of the best British films, is Bruce Robinson's dramatic comedy Whitnale and Me, 1986. Two unemployed actors - Whitnale and Marwood - rent together the same apartment and catastrophically drink and use drugs, because in the profession unclaimed, sitting on welfare. Marwood once recalls that Whitnale's uncle (who comes from a wealthy family, unlike Marwood) has a house in the countryside and offers to ask his uncle to rent the house for a week to relax in nature. But Whitnale, in order to obtain uncle’s consent, used “his methods”. In the role of Whitnale - the famous Richard E. Grant (in life an absolute sober), in the role of Marwood - also very famous (especially in Britain, from recent roles - in the series Luther) Paul McGahn. Uncle is played by Richard Griffiths. The case takes place in the late 60s. I highly recommend British film lovers.
