Soundtracket til min ungdom... et af de fedeste filmsoundtracks ever. Filmen fik mig på mirakuløs vis ikke til at begynde at tage heroin, haha. Danny Boyle har aldrig nået disse højder som instruktør siden,

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Trainspotting about? Toggle content

Trainspotting is a wild and rebellious movie that follows the lives of four friends, Mark Renton, Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson, Daniel "Spud" Murphy, and Francis "Franco" Begbie, as they score and scam their way through a hyper-kinetic world of drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Despite their dangerous drug habits, they attempt to wean themselves off heroin and lead a "useful and fulfilling" life. However, they quickly relapse and get caught up in a world of shoplifting, arrest, and negligence-induced death. The movie takes a dark turn as the group struggles with addiction, loss, and HIV/AIDS, ultimately leading to a tragic and devastating conclusion. With its mix of rebellious action, wicked humor, and a cast of unreliable friends, Trainspotting is a must-see for fans of gritty drama and crime movies.
