"Trainspotting" (1996) Directed by Danny Boyle
“We called him Mother Superior on account of the length of his habit”.
Those of you hardy souls that read my blog articles will already be aware of what a voluminous “Favourite Films of all time” list I have. And Trainspotting is very near the summit and the highest possible praise I can give this masterpiece of a film. But this leaves me, as it often does, in somewhat of a quandary as to how to appraise or review this masterpiece without delving into spoilers or spoil through my own exuberance for a film I have grown up with, lived with and adored for over two decades. Trainspotting truly was a seminal film that spawned it’s own culture and a cottage industry of books, t-shirts, slogans and allowed many inferior films to ride on it’s coat tails. It reignited and/or gave new light into the careers of Iggy Pop and Lou Reed (to name just two) and as with Shallow Grave, propelled relative unknown actors into the stratosphere and onto glittering acting careers.
