Trainspotting

Main focus of British film is ideology (nihilism and a bit on addiction) and narrative

Controversial

Released in 1996
Directed by Danny Boyle, considered his and Ewan McGregor's breakout film
Nominated for Best Picture Oscar, won Oscar for Best Adopted Screenplay from Irvin Welsh - Trainspotting

Kick started 'Cool Britannia' along with other British films which inspired pride in British culture

Inspired heroin chic

Both surreal and realism
Cinematography to nihilism

Which comes first, nihilism or heroin? Is there any ideology in nihilism at all? Or is it just addiction
