| Quote: | | Brothers Gillies and Billy MacKinnon drew on their own experiences for this story of three brothers growing up on the mean streets of Glasgow in the Sixties. The eldest is in a gang, the middle one wants to go to art school and the youngest is torn between creative and destructive urges. Gillies MacKinnon is equally assured with camera and actors. The film contributed to the mini-boom in Scottish film-making in the second half of the Nineties and significantly increased the pool of new, young acting talent. Kevin McKidd was hired for Trainspotting after Danny Boyle saw the rushes for Small Faces and Laura Fraser quit drama school to pursue her career in films. |
