In Bruges (REVISITED) (Directed by Martin McDonagh) - Is It Worth Revisiting Bruges?

This week we watched the 2008 comedy drama, In Bruges, for the second time!

Definitely worth a second viewing, and this episode of the podcast also raised a lot more of the philosophical debates regarding the film.
