We went to see a preview of In Bruges last night as part of the CinematICA season at the ICA.
It is a brilliantly dark comedy of two disillusioned hit men holed up in Belgium. Lurking somewhere between the incompetence of a Snatch villain and the naivety of Father Ted with an acknowledged nod towards Nicholas Roeg and Don't Look Now [it's the dwarf and the canals I suppose] in a coke fuelled "Bruegellian" nightmare!
Brendan Gleason and Colin Farrell work well together in a kind of Ted and Dougal way and with Martin McDonagh's dialogue it isn't any wonder. It's sharp from the off and, even though he doesn't appear until late on, Ralph Fiennes is hysterically sinister as the hitmen's boss, Harry.
Carter Burwell's score/soundtrack is a fine accompaniment. Gliding effortlessly from Irish folk to Death Metal and any other genre you care to mention whenever the need arises. It's a nice travelogue of Bruges as well - As we sadly spotted all the places we had visited a couple of years back.
Go see. It's on general release either next Friday [April 4th] or on the 18th... depending on what sources you trust!
Went to see Russell Brand supposedly warm up for his forthcoming Hollywood Boulevard gig on Monday as well. At the ever lovable Pleasance Theatre it was more like an hilarious 2 hour demonstration of extreme procrastination. Nothing among his current verbal peregrinations seems suitable to entertain any American audience without offending most of them. But then, that seems reason enough to do anything in my book. Good luck with that then!
