Irvine Welsh’s novel, Trainspotting, redefined indie movies and might single-handedly have been responsible for all those ‘toilet humour’ scenes we now see in cinema (who could forget that bit when one of the drugged-up protagonists dived into a dirty loo?).
Anyways, since Trainspotting, Welsh has written a host of other dirty, dirty novels including Ecstasy, Glue, Porno, The Acid House, and The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs.
Now comes Filth – which has also been translated into celluloid. And the storyline is insane!
A bipolar, bigoted, junkie cop named Bruce Robertson (James McAvoy in a standout performance) manipulates and hallucinates his way through the festive season in a bid to secure a promotion.
In short, Bruce is a scheming, misanthropic lad who spends his time indulging in drugs, alcohol, sexually abusive relationships, and “the games” – his euphemism for the myriad foul plots he hatches directed at workmates.
This flick throws political correctness right out the window and watches it crash below, injuring more people than a small war.
‘Filth’ hits cinema screens November 21. Cream hs 5 in-season double passes to see the film. To try winning a double, email your name, address and the Subject heading ‘Filth’ to cream@pobox.com no later than 5pm Thursday 14 November.
