Movie rec

Partner brought home In Bruges as the third in a “three for the price of two” DVD deal. It’s a Colin Farrell movie. It’s fucking brilliant. I really don’t want to give anything away because part of the joy of it is in how the story unfolds and the reveals slip in. Content aside, it feels like a filmic version of Flan O’Brien’s The Third Policeman and there’s not much higher praise than that.

We watched it over three nights so I think I was ready for how it ended and though shocking at one level it did have a tragicomic inevitabilty to it. Like every single part of it had been set up in the beginning even though you weren't really looking for it then.
