In search of the Scottish film part 2

As I told you on the previous post, now I will talk about different genres of films.

 For a total contrast from last time, I will start with Filth(2013). Based on Irvine Welsh's novel and starring the Glasgow-born actor James McAvoy, it tells the story of a bipolar, bigoted junkie cop who manipulates and hallucinates his way through the festive season in a bid to secure promotion and win back his wife and daughter. Filth was one of the most talked about films in Scotland in 2013. It is a great psychological thriller, although I wouldn't recommend it to everybody as some people might find it too disturbing.


I cannot believe what I found. A movie with The Proclaimers songs! Sunshine on Leith (2013) is named after band's album and also, Leith is where they are born. The film follows the stories of Davy and Ally, who have to re-learn how to live life in Edinburgh after coming home from serving in Afghanistan. Both struggle to learn to live a life outside the army and to deal with the everyday struggles of family, jobs and relationships.
No, seriously, how I didn't know before this existed? I am so excited!
And now, I couldn't help it -  the one and only 500 miles!

Lastly, I found information about Burns. First, I thought the film existed, but as I dig the internet I came to the conclusion that for a few years now it is in development.Starring Gerard Butler, in the main role, the movie sounds really promising. It goes through Burns life with hectic passion and presents his still living talent. I really hope to see this film one day.

This is it for now, see you soon.
