With Nails

En savoir plus sur le livre

Ten years after it was made Withnail and I is a cult movie with the debauched and despairing character of Withnail a beacon of inspiration to disaffected youth. Hollywood beckoned and Richard E. Grant went on to play parts as diverse as a warlock hunter, a cuckolded husband, a deranged script writer, a villain with aspirations of world domination and a fashion designer in twelve-inch heels, in such films as LA Story, The Player, Hudson Hawk, Dracula, The Age of Innocence and Pret a Porter. Whether hanging out with Steve Martin in Hollywood or flipping out with Sandra Bernhard in Budapest his film diaries are a brilliantly idiosyncratic, funny and revealing account of a world of celebrities and wannabees.
