About this event

"Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?" Choose a classic and satisfy your lust for life as Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie return to the big screen. Among the most popular, ground-breaking, and influential films of the '90s, Trainspotting celebrates its 30th anniversary - see the worst toilet in Scotland as never before, in this new 4K restoration. A shocking, subjective trawl through the Edinburgh heroin culture of the 1980s, Irvine Welsh's cult novel was hardly an obvious choice for the team who made Shallow Grave , but Danny Boyle's film is truly a triumph. Audaciously punching up the pitch-black comedy, juggling parallel character strands and blending image, music and voice-over with a virtuosity worthy of Scorsese on peak form, Trainspotting the movie captures precisely Welsh's insolent, amoral intelligence. Combined with a iconic lead foursome of McGregor, Bremner, Miller and Carlyle, it's a Scottish classic.
