Premiere: Filth

By Joanna Orland

The latest film adaptation based on an Irvine Welsh novel is the most exciting film to come out in recent years.  In the same Scottish and gritty vein as the successful adaptation of Trainspotting, Filth explores the mental downward spiral of Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, played brilliantly by James McAvoy.  This is a very artistic and hard-hitting look at mental illness, with the performance of McAvoy’s career.  You can read my full review of Filth, but in the meantime here is what happened when the stars hit the red carpet for the London Filth premiere.
