What's on the menu this evening?

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2000)

Trainspotting is Danny Boyle's follow up to Shallow Grave. Trainspotting is perhaps the greatest techno masterpiece ever created. The pulse pounding soundtrack gives great weight to the pacing. Ewan McGregor plays Mark Renton, junkie in the wastelands of Scotland. Him and his hooligan friends steal, have sex and do drugs. Renton dreams of becoming clean and choosing a normal life. Throughout his downward spiral we are actually taken through the eyes of a junkie and exposed to the reality that is heroin. Many many memorable scenes and quotes. A pop culture masterpiece. **** out of ****
