Bruges, West Flanders
Been there twice--mainly passing through--but anyone can get a good idea of the look, feel and rhythm of this medieval city in Belgium's West Flanders province just by seeing the movie "In Bruges". Much of it is shot in the Market Square area of Bruges. The film is about two Irish hit men--nice guys for the most part, by lawyer standards--with Ralph Fiennes as their wonderfully foul-mouthed, mean and manic crime boss who rose up from London's storied East End. Imagine a yarn about the Kray twins joined by a younger tortured brother--except that all three are funnier, smarter and often tripped up by guilt.
