People go on about this "fillum" being a cult masterpiece, but now I've just seen it, I think it's $hite... and BOOORING.
A much better Richard E. Grant film is "How to Get Ahead in Advertising" - now THAT is a true masterpiece!
But this? No.
And Paul McGann shouldn't be allowed to act in anything, he practically RUINED Doctor Who.
And if you all don't agree, you can fhuck right off.

How does it have a sad ending? The nice one lands a role and (presumably) moves out of poverty while the bitchy, do-nothing user is left to wallow in his self-created misery. Or are we supposed to idealize their lifestyle -- the one they are are desparate to escape -- at the start?

shareIt seemed to sink almost without trace when first released, then had a revival in the mid-90s (when I saw it in a London cinema) and it became a kind of cult classic.
I think it's great. I am inclined to believe people from outside Britain would fail to get it, though I would have thought the same about Monty Python and that does have admirers outside the UK.
