Last night I saw the film In Bruges. This is one of the most interesting new movies I've seen in a long time. I would rank the overall satisfaction I got from watching it alongside recent modern classics like No Country and Blood.
In Bruges is a movie which proves the value of an obsessive writer/director. Watch for the precision detail: Ralph Finnes is slowly introduced into the action, very deliberately, and then watch how he and Colin Farrell first appear in frame together. Or dig the scene where Brendan Gleeson and Farrell finally crossover in their feelings toward the city and depart the hotel room together. Or the fucking tension and release of the wrestle-for-the-gun moment.
Damn this movie is good! And it's also hilarious. This is a movie for people who dig Guy Ritchie style crime caper shit, but want it hell of artistic. Funny and atmospheric, beautiful and brutal, don't miss this picture.
