directorial debut on the film, from his own original screenplay. His plays
(which include The Lieutenant of Inishmore and The Pillowman) have brought him
two Olivier Awards and four Tony Award nominations. He wrote and directed Six
Shooter, starring Brendan Gleeson, which earned him the 2006 Academy Award for
Best Live-Action Short Film. In Bruges was filmed on location; Bruges
(pronounced "broozh"), the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of
Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travelers from all over the world. But
for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could be their
final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right
before Christmas by their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee
Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a
couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals,
and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of
tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while
Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Ray's often profanely funny exploits,
finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city.
But the longer they stay waiting for Harry's call, the more surreal their
experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals,
tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor (Jordan Prentice)
shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray
in the form of Chloë (Clémence Poésy), who may have some dark secrets of her
own. And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Ray's vacation
becomes a life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly
emotional consequences
