1h 33m
Directed by Danny Boyle • 1996 • United Kingdom
Starring Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle
Danny Boyle’s electrifying 1996 adaptation of the cult novel by Irvine Welsh is a heady tour through Edinburgh’s scuzzy eighties underground, where Renton, an aimless young man, bounces from heroin highs to desperate lows as he tries, fails, and tries again to get his life on track. Starring Ewan McGregor in his breakout role and set to an iconic soundtrack that jumps from Iggy Pop and Brian Eno to Pulp and Primal Scream, TRAINSPOTTING is a rush of audacious, hyperinventive filmmaking.
