Review of Trainspotting

Trainspotting (1996)
9/10

Warning: Spoilers
Trainspotting may be one of the most shocking movies ever, describing drug addiction from deep within. The film presents world seen thru the syringe, cold, terrifying, depressing.

Ewan McGregor is great as Mark Renton, drug addict trying to change his life. Thumbs up also for Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle as mad, psychotic Francis Begbie.

(spoilers) The shortest description of Trainspotting: fecal poetry. This refers to the scene in which Renton loses his opiumic suppositories and desperately dives in a water closet (a REAL DIRTY one), and suddenly he appears into some imagined, vision sea, diving deep and finding his suppositories. Disgusting, but also intriguing. 9/10.
