Trainspotting

Release Year: 1996
Review: A twisted, stylized, yet austere examination of heroin addiction, life and friendship. I'm not a fan the gritty drug haze type of movie, but this film does bring another layer to the depressing and dark reality of heroin addiction, letting us exam the struggle for meaning in life and who is important to us. I wish I had turned on subtitles prior to starting the film, since the heavy Scottish accents render entire scenes of dialog unintelligible. Definitely worth a watch and should be required viewing for all teenagers out there, as this is one of the strongest anti-drug experiences going, even if it wasn't meant as such.
Rating: 4/5
