Danny Boyle's landmark 1996 adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel returns to the cinema screen at LAB111. Set against the bleak backdrop of mid-nineties Edinburgh, the film follows Renton and his circle of friends as they navigate the highs and harrowing lows of heroin addiction. Propelled by an unforgettable Britpop and electronic soundtrack featuring Iggy Pop, Underworld and Brian Eno, it remains a defining work of modern British cinema. The venue's distinctive setting in a former medical laboratory suits the kinetic energy and dark humour of the picture. Viewing it on the big screen highlights the vibrant cinematography and sharp, irreverent performances that made it an instant classic.
