Zebra Crossing

New York in January.
Cold days, long evenings, the perfect time to curl up with a nice beer and a film that walks the line between melancholy and blasphemy.

Z Flicks starts the new year with “In Bruges”, Martin McDonagh’s tale of hope, redemption, hookers, shootouts, dwarves and ketamine. After a job goes horribly wrong, hitmen Ray and Ken are sent to Bruges to hide out, lay low, and get in some sightseeing. But what begins as an unexpected vacation becomes something much more sinister, as midwinter days of idyllic wander turn into evenings of sex, guns and second chances. And when Ken is told to murder his own partner, all bets are off.

A difficult film to explain and an easy one to love, “In Bruges” was Drayton’s favorite movie of 2008. Like a fine Belgian beer, it contains a variety of flavors and tastes, culminating in a unique whole. Viciously hilarious and surprisingly touching, and featuring Colin Farrell in a Golden Globe winning performance, this is a reason to brave the cold.
