Behind the Scene No. 7: can you guess the movie from the image?

The answer is... In Bruges

This week's Behind the Screen image is from In Bruges, the 2008 movie from Martin McDonagh starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes.

In Bruges was the first feature movie that McDonagh wrote and directed and is the story of two hit men sent to Bruges, Belgium after a job went wrong to await further instructions from their boss. The movie was widely praised when it was released and eventually earned a Best Original Screenplay nomination for McDonagh from the Oscars. McDonagh would build off that success with his follow-up movies, including Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and, most recently, The Banshees of Inisherin, which reunited him with Farrell and Gleeson.
