Glasgow, années 1980, sous le règne de fer de Margaret Thatcher. Agnes Bain rêvait d'une belle maison bien à elle, d'un jardin et d'un homme qui l'aime. A la place, son dernier mari la lâche dans un quartier délabré de la ville où règnent le chômage et la pauvreté. Pour fuir l'avenir bouché, les factures qui s'empilent, la vie quotidienne en vrac, Agnes va chercher du réconfort dans l'alcool, et, l'un après l'autre, parents, amants, grands enfants, tous les siens l'abandonnent pour se sauver eux-mêmes. Un seul s'est juré de rester, coûte que coûte, de toute la force d'âme de ses huit ans. C'est Shuggie, son dernier fils. Il lui a dit un jour : "Je t'aime, maman. Je ferai n'importe quoi pour toi". Mais Shuggie peine d'autant plus à l'aider qu'il doit se battre sur un autre front : malgré ses efforts pour paraître normal, tout le monde a remarqué qu'il n'était pas "net". Harcèlement, brimades, injures, rien ne lui est épargné par les brutes du voisinage. Agnes le protégerait si la bière n'avait pas le pouvoir d'effacer tous ceux qui vous entourent, même un fils adoré. Mais qu'est-ce qui pourrait décourager l'amour de Shuggie ?

"In 1996 Trainspotting was the biggest thing in British culture. Brilliantly and aggressively marketed, it crossed into the mainstream despite being a black comedy set against the backdrop of heroin addiction in Edinburgh. Produced by Andrew Macdonald, scripted by John Hodge and directed by Danny Boyle, the team behind Shallow Grave (1994), Trainspotting was an adaptation of Irvine Welsh's barbed novel of the same title. The film is crucial for understanding British culture in the context of devolution and the rise of 'Cool Britannia'. Murray Smith unpicks the processes that led to Trainspotting 's enormous success. He isolates various factors - the film's eclectic soundtrack, its depiction of Scottish identity, its attitude to deprivation, drugs and violence, its traffic with American cultural forms, its synthesis of realist and fantastic elements, and its complicated relationship to 'heritage' that make Trainspotting such a vivid document of its time. Although it heralded a false dawn for British film-making, Trainspotting is, Smith concludes, both authentically vernacular and yet transnational in its influences and ambitions. In his afterword to this new edition, Murray Smith reflects on the original film 25 years after its release, and its 2017 sequel T2: Trainspotting also directed by Boyle. Smith also considers Danny Boyle's subsequent directorial career, with highlights including Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony."--
