Trainspotting is a British cult classic directed by Danny Boyle, released in 1996 and based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. Fueled by an explosive soundtrack and a raw visual style, the film follows Mark Renton and his group of misfits through Edinburgh’s underground scene — a journey of heroin addiction, disillusionment and generational nihilism. With unforgettable performances by Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner and Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting became a defining work of alternative culture.

Its iconic “Choose Life” monologue perfectly encapsulates the absurdity and emptiness of modern life, blending dark humor with sharp social critique. Visceral, ironic and deeply human, Trainspotting remains a timeless symbol of rebellion and introspection within 90s cinema.
