The Acid House

Product Information

In this book Welsh explores the impact of pornography on the individuals involved in producing it, as well as society as a whole, and the impact of ageing and maturity in individuals against their will. The movie is full of quotable lines that when expressed in front of people who have seen the movie, they start nodding and laughing. At the beginning of last year, I didn’t want to make another rock’n’roll record, I’ve done enough of them. Anyone who’s read “ Trainspotting” (or any of Welsh’s other books), knows that Welsh is hard on his readers. While heroin is undoubtedly crucial to many of the narratives in Welsh’s first novel, Trainspotting draws its readers’ attention to aspects of Scottish and British culture which are perhaps even more uncomfortable.

After the remarkable success of Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh, set out on a conscious mission to weed out the type of popular vote that somebody like he could never be comfortable with. Of course the writing is better than is able to be pulled off in the movie, but nonetheless some good movie watching.Coco Bryce's father's request for cigarettes was used by my friend as a greeting to his friends for a while! The Acid House grants us outdoor scenes but has the characters spinning round uncontrollably and presents a lot of its shots in close up format complete with odd angles and fast edits - you could be forgiven for feeling sick.

Like The Butcher Boy, The Acid House explores the seamy side of, in this case, Scottish rather than Irish workingclass culture. The Acid House's first story provides good ammunition for Claire Monk's theory about the British male in crisis in the 1990s.All of his novels are set in his native Scotland and filled with anti-heroes, small time crooks and hooligans. Welsh co-directed "The Right to liberty", a chapter of the documentary film The New Ten Commandments, in 2008. We know Johnny's wife is screwing Larry, but the emotional effect pales as the couple contort their scrawny flesh into the whole Kama Sutra of reef-knots. I've seen a lot worse but The Acid House isn't a great film; it's grimy and unpleasant but isn't as brilliant as it might think it is.

Renton insists on his individual right to opt out of society, to take his life in his own hands, and refuses to allow society the option to view his rejection as a curiosity of medical science.Using a range of approaches from bitter realism to demented fantasy, Irvine Welsh is able to evoke the essential humanity, well hidden as it is, of his generally depraved, lazy, manipulative, and vicious characters. Although it was made as one film with three stories, I actually saw the first part of this as a standalone film so my comments can only be about that first part.
