When director Danny Boyle, writer John Hodge, producer Andrew MacDonald, and star Ewan McGregor cruised over from the U.K. and crashed onto the U.S. film scene last year with the brilliant Trainspotting, cinema got the adrenaline shot that the Pulp Fiction only purported to give. Trainspotting's startling ability to combine black humor, wit, romance, violence and pathos in a story about Scottish heroin addicts marked it as one of the best films of the year, if not the decade.

With a screenplay adapted from Wendy MacLeod's acclaimed play, the film touches with a brilliant but subtle hand on complex issues such as mental illness, family relationships, upper class apathy and sex. This beautiful movie has a quiet, dream-like quality that lends an appropriate surrealism to the entire set. In this world, nothing is real or logical; everything is permissible and negotiated, from identity to familial relationships...
