60 of 131 · most liked firstTurned off the news and watched the film Kneecap instead tonight. It’s a hugely entertaining sort-of-true story about Irish rappers - brilliantly written and shot, with funny, heartfelt performances and energy reminiscent of Trainspotting at times. A real breath of fresh air and highly recommended.

unlabelledView post →Watched Trainspotting for my 28th and its 30th birthday yesterday, it’s amazing how the movie only seems to get more prescient as the world gets more modern. One of the best movies about confronting endemic nihilism, with an incredible soundtrack and just a deluge of striking visuals. boxd.it/fUWbZ5
unlabelledView post →Trainspotting is 30. Its sequel didn’t make the same impact as its predecessor but how could it? Nevertheless, I think it’s an extremely touching film because of Ewen Bremner. Spud pulls himself out of his addiction through art: by writing his autobiography & making a Möbius strip of the two films.

Watched the film on its November 1997 Channel 4 premiere, and again in January 2017 before going to see "T2 Trainspotting", but had never read the novel. Suspects the non-standard spellings/Scottish dialect on the first page had always put me off. 1/4
