93 mins / 1996 / UK
Screening as part of our Summer Music Season 2024, to celebrate the glorious 4K restoration of this '90s British classic.
With one of the greatest soundtracks of all time we are delighted to screen this archive cult classic, where the music defined the movie and made Underworld's Born Slippy an anthem for the '90s. With a '90s surprise before the screening and '90s late bar afterwards 'til 11pm.
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that? Come along and revel in this wild, freeform, Rabelaisian trip through the darkest recesses of Edinburgh low-life.
"This supercharged 1996 story of drugs, violence and growing up has lost none of its edge" - 5 stars, The Guardian
