Trainspotting

In the Edinburgh of the 90s, the unemployed Mark Renton tries to add some colour to his boring life together with his friends. This raw portrait of addicts is a classic by Danny Boyle.

Discover Danny Boyle's film Trainspotting, a raw portrait of five addicts in Edinburgh. The film, starring Ewan McGregor as Mark Renton, shows their lives full of drugs, going out, drinking beer and playing football. Mark tries to break free from his drug-fuelled past and moves to London, but his friends and the past continue to haunt him.

The film, set to the beats of Underworld’s “Born Slippy” and Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life”, takes you into the dark, hilarious drug world of Renton, Begbie, Spud and Sick Boy. Trainspotting marked the arrival of Tony Blair's neoliberal ‘Cool Britannia’.
