Trainspotting

“Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family…” This is the story of Mark Renton and his so-called friends – a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies.

Hilarious but harrowing, the film 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”?

Critic Reviews:

• " An unprecedented and unrivalled piece of entertainment. " – Neil Jeffries

• " What's interesting, viewing the film now, is how it manages to be both inarguably of its time, the mid 90s, but also has not dated nearly as badly as most youth culture movies tend to. " – Wendy Ide

• " Trainspotting is supercharged with sulphurous humour and brutal recklessness: it charges at you like Ewan McGregor's Renton sprinting from store detectives in the opening sequence. " – Peter Bradshaw
