Trainspotting

Controversy and acclaim have followed this British drama across the Atlantic. A gritty, graphically painful and, at times, blackly funny look at a group of heroin addicts in Edinburgh, Scotland, director Danny Boyle's ("Slumdog Millionaire") adaptation of the Irvine Welsh novel follows one young man as he repeatedly tries to kick his drug habit, only to be lured back. The fine ensemble cast includes Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald, Jonny Lee Miller. 93 min.
