"...gach duine dár thug sé ar cuairt, gach pictiúr dár thug sé chuige í, ba le borradh lena gealgháire agus le laghdú ar a lionndubh é."

I don't understand the use of "chuige í". Shouldn't it be "chuici"?

No. "í" refers to "her", "chuige" to "pictúir" which in this case means film/movie.

Each film to which he brought her

Not to boast, but I knew what was going on straight away:

Chuir mé é sa bhosca -> Chuir mé sa bhosca é

Thug sé í chuige -> Thug sé chuige í


How come I see "dár" there instead of "gur" or "ar"?

dár [forainm réamhfhoclach][dobhriathar]
= do + ar3; de + ar3 (an dream dár fhóin sé; an dream dár díobh é).
