This one pulls you in all directions

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 1999)

This movie is revolting, hysterical, thought-provoking and desperately sad. It doesn't have the depth of the book (sorry to appear pretentious) and the plot doesn't explain the title (actually a reference to Renton's father who was drop-out drunk who didn't recognize his own son, and wondered if he was at the station late at night to do some trainspotting). Whether this teaches any kid to stay off drugs is debatable (kids always know better than everyone else (that's how you can tell they're kids)). This is more a fanciful social comment than a warning.
Great nonetheless - the CDs are great too (did I mention the book?)
