Funny, disturbing, tragic and deeply addictive, Trainspotting is based on the seminal best-selling novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh. Set in gritty, late 1980s Edinburgh, Scotland, it’s the story of a smart, funny, sickly heroin addict Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his so-called friends-a gaggle of loser, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies.
Hilarious and harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate, and we’re left to wonder if he will. 1993, U.K., 4K DCP, 93 minutes. Rated R.
