Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Based on Georges Rodenbach's 1892 Symbolist novel that essentially invented Bruges as 'the dead city'—tourism still hasn't recovered.

Trivia

Anthony Daniels plays Pierrot between Star Wars shoots; C-3PO's mime phase deserves more respect.
