UK, 1996, 94 min, directed by Danny Boyle with Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle
Boyle's cult film about a group of young heroin addicts in Edinburgh captures the intoxication, energy and hopelessness of the 1990s subculture with a driving camera, fast cuts and an electrifying soundtrack. The surreal, grotesque exaggeration of banal realities makes Trainspotting a stylistically garish, yet tragic-comic social study.Translated with DeepL
