Drug-induced masterpiece

This film is beautiful, funny, shocking, brutal, tragic, and hopeful. First time I saw it, I didn't like it much, mostly because its so hard to understand those scottish accents, but I now view it as a genuine masterpiece and destined to become a classic.

Trainspotting is a story about a bunch of friends, and I use term 'friends' in the loosest sense, that have only one thing in ... read more

''Take the best orgasm you've ever had... multiply it by a thousand, and you're still nowhere near it.''

Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends.

Danny Boyle makes a film that manages to get us to sympathise with a bunch of Scottish heroin addics. It can't be easy to do such a thing. The film is extremely funny at times, bleak at others, but the one emotion that pervades the entire film is hopelessness. Even once Ewan McGregor's character starts to make something of his life, he is still plagued by his old friends and eventually plumets bac... read more

Description: A kinetic, intimate look inside the subculture of heroin abuse, this acclaimed adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel follows the misadventures of Renton, a brash, twenty-something Edinburgh junkie, and his nihilistic chums Tommy, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie. Alternately comic and off-putting, the film ultimately comes down to Renton's choi ... (more)

"The movie itself is not a sad one, however it made me think a lot. Mostly about life and choices and everything else. But I lost it when the baby died that part was very painful to get through. "

"1 Hyvä draama huumeista, niiden armoilla elävistä. Erityisesti vieroituoireita kuvaavat surrealistiset kohtaukset huikeita! Musiikkivalinnat ovat myös erittäin osuvia Lou Reedistä elektrojumputukseen! Leffa oli omalla tavallaan myös hiukan ahdistava. Ei kyllä tee mieli kovia huumeita kokeilla tämän jälkeen."

"Brilliant directing by Danny Boyle. Fascinating, stylish character study about heroin junkies. Very dark subject matter, and meant to shock, but surprisingly accessable to more mainstream audiences. Ewan McGreggor completely nails his role. A modern classic."

A Complete review of Danny Boyle's work (9 movies items)

" Cast : Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald, Peter Mullan, Shirley Henderson What was it about? Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends. My two cents: It is probably the most influential British feature made in the 90's and has become since a huge classic. Personally, I had the luck to watch it in the theater when it was released and I definitely ha"
