Top 10 Posters of 2008: In Bruges

Date:

5. In Bruges (U.S. Domestic Poster)

Distributor: Focus Features
Tagline: Shoot First, Sightsee Later
Comments: Having visited the picturesque village in Belgium in my early 20’s, I think Focus hit the bull’s-eye with the notion that Bruges is indeed a “postcard” setting for this unique storyline. Along with the trimmed edges, I love the splashes of blood and I like the three-character panel which describes motivation and location in detail.
