Starring Colin Farrell
Brendan Gleeson
Ralph Fiennes
Clémence Poésy
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Blueprint Pictures (Film4, Focus Features, etc), 2008
A dark comedy in all sense of the meaning, this R-rated film paints a beautiful portrait of the old and majestic city of Bruges/ Brugge (Broodj in French, BROOG-uh – in Dutch) while unwinding an intricate storyline with characters of all shapes and sizes. Some very funny moments (heightened by opposing dialects) are juxtaposed with moments of deep sorrow and regret and yet, the direction of the film leaves us in an ethereal state of thought and being.
Favorite part? Colin Farrell karate chops a little person (Jordan Prentice) in the neck.
Favorite line? Collin Farrell to Brendan Gleeson: "Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't."
