One of the most important features of Trainspotting is its aesthetic. The film breaks away from the styles of social realism which would have been the traditional way of depicting poverty and drug addiction in UK cinema. In a way Trainspotting is hyperreal it goes beyond simple photorealism in its style and presentation of social issues. It achieves through its colourisation, set design and use of music.
What are the conventions of social realism?
Social realism is showing on film the real and social issues that are happening within society.
