Il Cinema Colpisce Ancora12) "Trainspotting" di Danny Boyle (1996)Diretto da Danny Boyle e basato sull'omonimo romanzo di Irvine Welsh "Trainspotting" è un film britannico uscito nel 1996.
Una storia ambientata nella Edimburgo degli anni '90 che segue le poco eroiche gesta di un gruppo di giovinastri tossicodipendenti.
Il protagonista Mark Renton (interpretato da Ewan McGregor), cerca di liberarsi dalla spirale autodistruttiva della droga ma viene costantemente trascinato indietro dalle influenze tossiche dei suoi amici eccentrici.
Tanto humor nero, immagini potenti e una colonna sonora iconica, per un film che all'epoca diventò da subito un cult.
Ne parliamo insieme a Nicholas Tonna.2025-01-2128 min
