Trainspotting double feature

The definitive junkie answer to life's absurdity turns thirty this year. Trainspotting, a generational manifesto of wasted lives among a few misfits from Edinburgh, based on Irvine Welsh's turbulent novel, has lost none of its edge. Danny Boyle crafted a wild, anarchic, funny, and visually inventive film that channels hard drugs, sex, and music into a postmodern riff on a lost generation's rebellion against the system, rules, and boxes they're supposed to fit into without protest.

Boyle's loose sequel T2 Trainspotting explores whether the gang of friends from the Scottish capital managed to pull it off, steeped in bittersweet nostalgia for days gone by. What becomes of the young wrecks who survived their own death? You'll see and hear it all in one evening - a somewhat different odyssey.
