Director: Danny Boyle
Trainspotting gets filed under the list of 'Films I Should've Seen 10 Years Ago", a style-over-substance film that launched Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor's careers. It's provocative and creates some unforgettable images, but does so at the expense of any character development or sense of plot. There's also the seemingly standard mid 90s post-Tarantino deconstruction of some pop culture item - is this still a thing in movies now? It might blend in seamlessly in newer movies, but here it feels self-conscious and largely uninteresting. There's also that late 90s English movie thing where someone speaks with such a deep accent that it's impossible to understand half of what they say - I'm glad I don't see any movies like that anymore.
