The Acid House (film)

The Acid House is a 1998 Scottish film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's short story collection "The Acid House" directed by Paul McGuigan. Welsh himself wrote the screenplay, and appears as a minor character in the film.
Plot.
The film dramatises three stories from the book:
All three sections are independent, but are linked by setting and the reappearance of incidental characters, in particular Maurice Roëves who appears variously as an inebriated wedding guest, a figure in a dream, and a pub patron. All three of his parts symbolise a human manifestation of God.
The film offended elements of the UK tabloid press with a depiction of a cynical, jaded, foul-mouthed God. In some English-speaking countries such as Canada and the United States it has been screened with subtitles because of the Scots vernacular and heavy Edinburgh accents.
