Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero for our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, TRAINSPOTTING is the story of Mark and his so-called friends – a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate – but then again, does he really want to ‘choose life’?
Choose life. Choose to celebrate the most iconic Scottish film of all time back on the big screen and lovingly restored for its 30th anniversary. The film has quite simply never looked or sounded better.
