Trainspotting
“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family…” This is the
story of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his so-called friends – a bunch of
losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, Danny
Boyle's Trainspotting charts the disintegration of their friendship as they
proceed seemingly towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and
opportunities to escape his fate – but then again does he really want to
“choose life”?

series of hilarious adventures, creating an unexpected connection that might not
last, but will stay with them forever.
A Serious Man
Academy Award-winning directors Joen and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots
with this original and darkly humerous story about one ordinary man's quest to
become a serious man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) can't
believe his life: His wife is leaving him for his best friend. His unemployed
brother won't move off the couch. Someone is threatening his career. His kids
are a mystery, and his neighbour is tormenting him by sunbathing nude.
Struggling to make sense of it all, Larry consults three different rabbis and
their answers lead him on a twisted journey of faith, family delinquent
behaviour and mortality.
