Striking a balance between culture and fun: ‘Quality’ meets hitman genre in In Bruges, Wednesday 24 November, 4-6pm, CH005 (Chadwick Building)
An analysis of In Bruges (2008) that situates the film as a hybrid product offering a mixture of signifiers of cinematic ‘quality’ and ‘lower’ genre ingredients. This paper also considers the extent to which In Bruges offers a combination of tonal registers in which irony and detachment, as markers of distinction, are blended with a more mainstream-oriented appeal to emotional engagement on the part of the viewer, and considers how this might be related to the broader social and industrial contexts in which it appeared.
All welcome. The location of the Chadwick building can be found via a map available on the following link (it is in the green Zone A part of campus)
