Review: The Rum Diary
‘Withnail’ is an oeuvre in itself; its reach spans the 30 subsequent years during which Robinson has rarely made films, and makes them seem inexplicably prolific. Again: that mysterious alchemy at work. It’s a movie about the unquiet guilt of the functional, having had to cut ties with the lost causes. ‘Rum Diary,’ despite its several amusements, never captures the same sense of loss lurking beneath the colorful misadventure.
