His partner in crime, Ken, enjoys the city while Ray spirals into a crisis. What makes this film by Martin McDonagh (The Banshees of Inisherin) so exceptional will be explored in the masterclass preceding the screening, led by film lecturer Twan Arts.

GAME CHANGERS
Every third Monday of the month, it's GAME CHANGERS at Natlab. On these evenings, an iconic film classic is screened. Prior to the screening, film lecturer Twan Arts presents a masterclass explaining what makes the chosen film a true game changer.

IN BRUGES
In Bruges is an exceptional film thanks to its unique tone, which balances dark humor, existential depth, and raw emotion. In addition to the strong performances by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, the city of Bruges itself takes on a starring role. Its medieval beauty and mystical atmosphere enhance the dark and absurdist themes of the story. Martin McDonagh's script is filled with sharp and witty dialogue. Beneath the absurd situations, however, lies a deeper layer, exploring themes such as guilt, redemption, and the search for meaning, leaving a lasting emotional impact.
