Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough
In this intimate and personal documentary we meet Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh at a crossroads, acutely aware of his mortality and realising that his hedonistic days are drawing to a close. On a book tour in Canada, Welsh chooses to explore the boundaries of consciousness by taking DMT at a Toronto drug therapy centre. The resulting hallucinogenic trip, illustrated within a kaleidoscopic imagined memory space, is interspersed with candid observational footage, cinematic archive, and excerpts from Welsh’s novels to create a captivating piece of autobiographical cinema that gets to the beating heart of one of Scotland’s most vital creative voices.
