Back in cinemas to celebrate its 30th anniversary – don’t miss your chance to see this cultural milestone on the big screen!
Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton and his so-called friends – a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies – live in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction through the use of heroin. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate – but then again, does he really want to “chose life”?
Iconic Scottish black comedy directed by Danny Boyle, based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. Stars Ewan McGreogor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald and Kevin McKidd.
