	Movies - Young Adam

Young Adam is a 2003 film written and directed by David Mackenzie, based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Trocchi, which was first published in 1957. It is set in Glasgow, Scotland, in the 1950s and stars Ewan McGregor.

The film follows the exploits of Joe (played by McGregor), a young drifter who has ended up working on one of Glasgow's river barges. It deals with lust and sin, as we see Joe move from one brief affair to the next as he tries to get away from a guilty secret.

Young Adam garnered controversy because of its graphic sexual content, including a close-up shot of Ewan McGregor's semi-erect penis; some critics felt the director used the scene for pure shock value rather than artistic merit.
