Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough
<i>Reality Is Not Enough</i> reveals the inner and outer lives of Irvine Welsh, one of the most original and controversial writers of our times. For four decades across novels, screenplays and an outspoken presence in media, the <i>Trainspotting</i> author has both celebrated and defined contemporary society and culture, whilst simultaneously exposing its flaws. In this intimate and personal documentary we meet Welsh at a crossroads, acutely aware of his mortality and accepting 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 novel excerpts to create a captivating piece of autobiographical cinema that received its world premiere as the closing film of the 2025 Edinburgh International Festival.DocumentaryPT1H28M182025-09-26Irvine Welsh
