Trainspotting at Triskel Arts Centre, 30 Aug-2 Sep. The hilarious but harrowing story of Mark Renton, his friend-group, and the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed towards self-destruction, returns to cinemas for its 30th anniversary.
Hilarious but harrowing, this film is the story of Mark Renton and his friends Sick Boy, Spud, Begbie and Tommy, and charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction. Mark alone has the insight and opportunity to escape his fate - but then again, does he really want to “choose life”? Based on the novel by Irvine Welsh, TRAINSPOTTING is one of the seminal movies of the nineties. To mark its 30th anniversary, do not miss seeing this film back on the big screen.
*The 14:00 screening on Wednesday 2 September will contain descriptive subtitles for deaf/hard of hearing audiences.
“An extraordinary achievement and a break-through British film.” The Guardian
