Essays cover a variety of topics including a background of Glasgow's cinema-goers and picture houses, the evolution of Scots comedy, and the role of the city as inspiration for grassroots and underground filmmakers, as well as big Hollywood productions. Thirty-eight films are featured, from classics like Forsyth's Gregory's Girl and Loach's Carla's Song to cult hits like Boyle's Trainspotting . Bollywood is also represented, alongside European titles and grim Scots realism like Sweet Sixteen , My Name is Joe , and Red Road , and new titles including Fast Romance , Perfect Sense , and NEDs , making this an essential guide to Scotland in film.
