Review of Incendies (2010) by Jim M — 05 Oct 2011
Montreal: Notary Label (Remy Girard) presents the twins Jeanne and Simon Marwan (Melissa Desormeaux-Poulin and Maxim Gaudette) with the last will and testament of their mother (Lubna Azabal). In it their are 2 letters, one for the father they thought long dead another for the brother they never knew existed. To find them the twins will have to journey back to their mothers homland in the Middle East and discover the chain of violence and anger that has scarred that land.
Good if a little long. Denis Villeneuve has created an excekkent film worthy of its Oscar consideration. Girad is especially good in a role that could have been one note. Melissa Desormeaux-Poulin and Lubna Azabel aptly carry the film and the film has one hell of a twist. I'd say check it out.
