Movie rec

[hazelk]

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.

I worship the ground on which Martin Macdonagh walks.

He's the writer? I'll join that cult. Oooh (googles) he wrote The Pillowman. Feels uncultured.

He's the director as well. He won an Oscar for his first film, Six Shooter (Best Short Film, not Best Film, but still...), which he also wrote. And his plays are *amazing*.
