Hello everyone, it's December, it's winter, everything is awful (ok, maybe not everything). That might be an overreaction but it is my least favorite season so, cut me some slack. For the month of December, we have watched a variety of films in the past, sometimes Christmas related, sometimes Christmas adjacent, this year will be one of the latter. We will be watching Martin McDonagh's In Bruges.
In Bruges is a 2008 black comedy-drama crime thriller film directed and written by Martin McDonagh in his feature-length debut. It stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two London-based Irish hitmen hiding in Bruges, with Ralph Fiennes as their boss. The film is set and was filmed in Bruges, Belgium.
In Bruges received generally positive reviews and currently holds a fresh rating of 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert gave the film 4/4 stars saying this in his review, “This film debut by the theater writer and director Martin McDonagh is an endlessly surprising, very dark, human comedy, with a plot that cannot be foreseen but only relished. Every once in a while you find a film like this, that seems to happen as it goes along, driven by the peculiarities of the characters.”
We will be meeting Thursday, Dec. 26th at 5:30pm.
Here's a trailer:
Hope to see you there!
Does appear to be funny in a strange way
