Trainspotting

Choose Life. Returning to cinemas 30 years on from its acclaimed release, the BAFTA winning and Academy Award nominated dark comedy, TRAINSPOTTING, directed by Academy Award winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), based on Irvine Welsh’s novel. Heroin addict Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) stumbles through bad ideas and sobriety attempts with his unreliable friends, Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Begbie (Robert Carlyle), Spud (Ewen Bremner) and Tommy (Kevin McKidd). He also has an underage girlfriend, Diane (Kelly Macdonald), along for the ride. After cleaning up and moving from Edinburgh to London, Mark finds he can't escape the life he left behind when Begbie shows up at his front door on the lam, and a scheming Sick Boy follows. Featuring outstanding award-winning performances from McGregor and lead cast members, TRAINSPOTTING is a powerful, nervy and constantly inventive depiction of addiction, bringing Welsh's gritty prose to life through an entertaining and unsettling combination of scatological wit, a pulsating British pop score and stylized surrealism that mimics heroin highs.
