“TRAINSPOTTING”: “Who needs reasons when you have heroin?”

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

The black comedy “Trainspotting – New Heroes” was released in cinemas on February 23, 1996 – 30 years ago. Did you already know these facts?

★ Director Danny Boyle has created a work that paints a critical picture of British society and places the marginalized figures in the foreground.

★ Hardship, misery and addiction are part of the protagonists’ everyday lives. Mark Renton, played by Ewan McGregor, has to struggle with the latter in particular, always on the lookout for the next shot of heroin.

★ The numerous medical terms used by the screenwriter, who treated heroin addicts as a doctor, ensure authenticity.

★ The outstanding soundtrack(Iggy Pop, David Bowie, New Order, Joy Division and many more) means that “Trainspotting” still has an impact today.
