Cultural sight seeing, two hit-men, a racist dwarf and a Dutch prostitute all feature in the hilarious black comedy, In Bruges.
With an all star cast, superb performances and a brilliantly dark script, this is one of the most sensational hit films of 2008.
Written and directed by Academy Award® winner* Martin McDonagh, comes the totally outrageous, laugh-out loud funny and refreshingly original black comedy In Bruges.
Outstanding performances from Colin Farrell (Miami Vice, Alexander), two-time Academy Award® Nominee Ralph Fiennes (The Constant Gardener, Red Dragon) and renowned character actor Brendan Gleeson (Beowulf, Cold Mountain, Braveheart) make In Bruges the must have DVD of the year, available to own and rent from 18th July in Ireland and 11th August across the UK and Northern Ireland.
After a ‘job’ goes bad, hit men Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Gleeson) are forced to hole up in the picturesque and medieval city Bruges, under strict instructions from their hot-headed boss Harry (Fiennes) not to move from their dingy hotel room under ANY circumstances.
Young, fiery, punch first/think later Ray (Farrell) and the more experienced, cultured and worldly Ken (Gleeson) have only one thing in common blasphemy.
Whilst Ken laps up the chance to relax and take in the sights, party boy Ray is going stir crazy. Easily distracted by fine Belgium beer, an abundance of readily available drugs and a particularly tasty Belgian supplier, Ray’s gardening leave rapidly disintegrates into chaos not really the definition of keeping a low profile! T
hings go from bad to worse their cockney boss Harry decides to take matters into his own hands, determined to make Bruges Ray’s final destination.
A truly original script with marvellous comic dialogue, unique and intense characters, IN BRUGES is film perfection as comedy and satire work hand in hand with not a shred of political correctness in sight.
In Bruges is profanely funny and is available to own or rent on DVD in Ireland from 18th July, and across the UK from 11th August 2008.
