Review of Incendies (2010) by Alireza R — 14 Mar 2012
What an amazing film! While constructed around an improbable premise, "Incendies" takes the premise to places which gives the viewer a keener understanding of the challenges facing the nations in the Middle East.
The plot moves from Canada to areas around Lebanon post 1940 and then back to the present. The battles between Christian Philangists and Arab Chieftans are brutal, graphic and stomach-churning. The acting is modulated and fine.
The storytelling is outstanding! In all, I highly recommend this film in French, Arabic, and English. Make sure to turn on the subtitles! Bravo to all!
