Trainspotting
This classic British comedy drama starring Ewan McGregor as an Edinburgh heroin addict has lost none of its power over the years
This classic British comedy drama starring Ewan McGregor as an Edinburgh heroin addict has lost none of its power over the years.
The foul language and graphically grim subject matter may offend some, but this film, in which McGregor and his three loser friends run head first into one crisis after another, is an amazing mix of cinematic style and social satire.
It’s dazzlingly directed by Danny Boyle and ferociously well-acted by McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner, Kevin McKidd and, especially, Robert Carlyle as the psychotic Begbie, one of the most monstrous individuals ever to swagger his way across the screen.
