Highbrow Lowbrow: In the Bleak Midwinter & In Bruges

In this special festive episode of Highbrow Lowbrow, I look at Kenneth Branagh’s little seen but beautiful film In the Bleak Midwinter, in which a ragtag company of actors stage a production of Hamlet in a church over Christmas.

Dan’s pick is the absurdist comedy In Bruges. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell play two contract killers hiding out in Bruges after a hit goes horribly wrong in London. You can listen to the full episode here.
