Well...is Bruges Purgatory?

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2009)

After watching the film for the third time, I have just read through a number of the comments posted by others here; yes, the struggle with guilt is identified, and the great acting (especially Farrell), and the dark comedy. But has no one else seen an allegory in the film? Early on in the film, Ray & Ken view a painting in a museum, and discuss that it represents Purgatory; the ending takes place in a film shoot of...Purgatory. Principles. Guilt. Hell...prison...or the light above...
I just hope that those who see it as merely an addition to the Pulp Fiction genre will 'hear' the depth of the film, if only on a subconscious level.
And, the soundtrack is perfect.
