    Colin Farrell Fights His Demons
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018*

Martin McDonagh's (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MO) brilliant film In Bruges (2008) finds young wannabe gangster Colin Farrell in a state of medieval hell (figuratively and physically, since the medieval town of Bruges is saturated with Bosch-like images of devils, gargoyles, and tortured souls), as a result of a botched murder of an adult Catholic priest that also kills a 6-year old child. In the opening soliloquy, Ray (Colin Farrell) voices over the panorama, "Get to Bruges - I didn't even know where Bruges was." It's a descent into hell ("I know Bruges is gonna be a s**hole"), and in an ironic twist, it's Christmas time - all the hotels are fully booked, and Ray has to spend two weeks in one room with his mentor and gangster-guide Ken (Brendan Gleeson) (- the way of all learning, young gangster meets old gangster).Ray hates history ("It's all a bunch of stuff that's already happened") but he loves that a film crew is filming a fantasy-scene in Bruges ("Homage is too strong" a description, says Chloe) complete with medieval costumes, gargoyles and a dwarf (Jordan Prentice). Ken, on the other hand, loves the history, and he takes Ray to see the medieval Church of Christ's Blood with real blood brought back by the Crusaders many centuries ago. There's a medieval fresco of the final judgment on earth, with heaven, hell, and purgatory and tortured souls ("The afterlife, God and sins and hell and all that!"), which Ray approves of, saying, "The rest (of the paintings) were spastics, but this is quite good!" Ray also has a fascination for dwarves (“They tend to commit suicide”), which leads both to a tryst with Chloe (the stunning Clemence Poesy), a local drug dealer, and to various encounters with Jimmy, a dwarf who is acting in the film, and who is taking ketamine sold to him by Chloe (curiously, ketamine is a pharmaceutical remedy for depression, which both Jimmy and Ray are suffering from). Sensing Ray's profound depression and in an act of selfless charity, Ken puts Ray on a train out of town and tells him to find another young kid and help him, instead of killing himself.High up on the medieval tower at the center of town is where the key action of the film takes place. Ken's boss, Harry (Ralph Fiennes) shows up to have a gun fight with Ray and Ken. It's a gangster shootout in quiet, medieval Bruges. This is Shakespearean tragedy, and many characters die in the final scene. In the last moments of the final scene, Ray voices over his own body being taken away by ambulance, "I guess hell is being in Bruges for eternity."Colin Farrell appears in another black drama where he fights his demons. True Detective, Season Two, finds detective Ray Velcoro (Farrell) in his own personal hell after he kills the man he suspects of raping his wife, then becomes the toy of the gangster Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn) who gave him the tip, only to discover that he killed the wrong man. The True Detective writers travesty Farrell's performance in In Bruges by having corrupt Vincy City detective Ray Velcoro be totally devoted to his geeky tweeny son, in effect providing the penance Farrell's character in In Bruges sought but was not able to accomplish. But his real penance lies in violence, and there's more than enough in the eight episodes of True Detective, Season Two.It's a romance story, but not obviously so. Ventura County Sheriff's detective Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams) has her own demons to battle, and she's a tough survivor with a martial artist's skill with a blade. Together they (and officer Paul Woodrugh - skillfully played by Taylor Kitsch) solve the deep corruption and violent reprisals that are rampant in the City of Vincy's upper echelons. It's fate, and in one memorable scene Ray and Ani break down all the barriers to their individual hells and connect beyond time and place.These are great actors playing parts written by very sharp writers. Check them out.
