Description

Triple bill of British films. 'The Long Good Friday' (1979) is a gangster thriller set in the East End of London in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the local hoods were trying to muscle in on the development of the Docklands. Bob Hoskins won huge acclaim for his portrayal of the vicious gangster boss who overestimates his business capacity when he gets involved with gangs linked to the IRA. Bruce Robinson's celebrated cult comedy 'Withnail and I' (1986) stars 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 countryfolk. 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'. 'Easy Rider' relocates to Wales in the comic road-trip movie 'Freebird' (2007), as three London couriers hit the road in search of drugs, drugs and some more drugs. Leaving their day jobs behind, Fred (Gary Stretch), Tyg (Geoff Bell) and Grouch (Phil Daniels) head for Wales in search of a cannabis farm deep in the valleys. Having finally arrived, the boys settle down to some serious relaxation, which, aside from the over abundance of weed, sees them sampling the local variety of magic mushrooms. Unfortunately for the three friends, two local biker gangs have chosen this weekend to finally settle some old scores, seriously adding to the entertainment, as our trio of trippers heads into the woods in search of some magic.
