Dir. Danny Boyle – 1996 – 94m – UK – Not Valid for Punch Cards
AÂ DUST WAVE COLLECTIVEÂ SPECIAL!
“Easy to start, all-consuming, impossible to quit.” – Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
A jolt of adrenaline shot straight to the heart of 1990s British cinema, this darkly funny adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel was a major breakthrough for director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, and screenwriter John Hodge. With live-wire energy and stylistic verve, Trainspotting bounces across the life and times of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor), a Scottish heroin addict who, along with his misfit mates, gets high, gets in trouble, gets clean, and gets high again, all in a bid to outrun the banality of modern existence. Kinetically cut to an iconic soundtrack of techno, rock, and Brit-pop, this indie phenomenon chooses life in all its ugly, beautiful, terrifying exhilaration.
“It would be hard to imagine a movie about drugs, depravity, and all-around bad behavior more electrifying than Trainspotting.” – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
