Additional InformationA kinetic, intimate look inside the subculture of heroin abuse, this acclaimed adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel follows the misadventures of Renton (Ewan McGregor), a brash twenty-something Edinburgh junkie, and his nihilistic chums Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), Tommy (Kevin McKidd), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle). Alternately comical and dark, the film ultimately comes down to Renton's choice between self-destruction or life. The stellar soundtrack should not be missed.
ReviewsSight and Sound - ...The lasting after-effect of watching TRAINSPOTTING is a sense of exhilaration..., Film Comment - ...A larkish black comedy, paced like a Beatles musical yet grounded by the charming misanthropy of Irvine Welsh's best-selling novel....[With] a starmaking performance from Ewan McGregor..., USA Today - "...A dark, Tarantino-style humor courses through its veins...This hip rave-up is zippily entertaining....Ewan McGregor delivers his needle-sharp narration with raw charisma" -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars, Rolling Stone - ...Electrifying....Harrowing and hilarious..., Variety - Scabrous, brutal and hip, TRAINSPOTTING is a CLOCKWORK ORANGE for the '90s....[The] performances are terrific at all levels..., Entertainment Weekly - "...Thrillingly squalid, scabrously funny..." -- Rating: A

  • trainspotting

    was looking forward the seocnd cd but found it a bit disappointing. Although it had plenty of info from writer/producer/director, it had none from the actual actors which I was expecting and looking forward to. However it was good to see how some of the scenes were filmed and the thinking behind such classic scenes as baby on the ceiling, the toilet, etc
