On October 20th, the fine folks at Arrow Films are releasing Bruce Robinson’s Withnail And I on Blu-ray in a gorgeous 4-disc box set which includes his follow-up film, How to Get Ahead in Advertising. Arrow just released the trailer for their new restoration, embedded above.
The Criterion Collection edition of Withnail & I went out of print back in 2010, around the same time that Image Entertainment licensed and released many of the Handmade Films. Now that Criterion appears to have re-licensed the Handmade Films titles (as evidenced by the December release of Time Bandits), we can all hope that Withnail And I will return to the Collection as well. We’ll have to wait and see.
