I went to see the new Trainspotting film today. I remember seeing the original film in the cinema when it came out. I had read the book as well. I've attempted to read some of the various sequels and prequels to the book but the film Transpotting 2 is really its own beast.
It didn't really capture the adrenaline buzz of the original film but it still had something to say. It's a film about growing older, regrets, death and family. Given the death of my father earlier this week some of those themes really hit home with me. He liked watching DVDs and I think he would have liked to see this film.
I'm glad I saw this in the cinema although I'm not sure I'll rush to see it again. Great soundtrack from Young Fathers amongst others.
