Danny Boyle’s adaptation of the ‘unadaptable’ seminal Scottish novel by Irvine Welsh redefined British film-making. We, the audience, were amazed, enthralled, shocked and disgusted, and we flocked to the cinemas in droves, again and again. What was it, or is it, about Trainspotting that made it such a stand-out critical and commercial success? How has it influenced the cinema that followed in its wake? Particularly, how has it influenced British cinema?
Find out with this special screening and discussion kicking off ‘Classic Cinema: The Reunion’, a new series presented by the London Film School and Ciné Lumière in association with Time Out Live. The Reunion asks director, key actors, producers and technicians to look back over a landmark film with a major legacy. Danny Boyle and a group of key players take us through the story step by step. Moderated by Ben Gibson, director of the London Film School.
