I want more films from McDonagh

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2009)

This is my first comment on IMDb after visiting it nearly every day for two years. I felt the need to write something because when I found out that this was the only long film of McDonagh, I felt rather disappointed. I was entranced by the sophistication of the film. I'm a filmaholic who watches at least one film everyday. What was so extraordinary with In Bruges that allured me so much? Was it the music? The city of Bruges? The characters? Or the humor which does not use cheap jokes? I really could not answer that question to myself, although I am a 4. year psychology student. I also feel a need to say something about Colin Farrell. I have seen some of his previous films. In all of them he tries to draw a male charisma like many pert Hollywood actors do. But in this film he becomes a real human being with all his weaknesses. Now, I started to respect him as a successful and modest actor. I hope McDonagh is reading these comments; because I really want many more films from him. I will be following you McDonagh! Of course, there will be some people who do not like your work, but if you continue to shoot your films in your original way you will have your fans like me. Thank you very much for all your efforts so far.
