Incendies Review
Wow Dennis. I watched this just to know about Dennis Villeneuve's earlier works before he became a big name in Hollywood today, so I was not expecting much from Incendies. From the start, I think the film was shot beautifully and it was a good biography-like story of a strong woman. Little did I realise that actually this film was more intense and disturbing than a mere war survivor's story. The ending was brilliant but disturbing as hell. Though one can argue that Incendies aim is to show the tragedy that war brings upon men, but Incendies still felt a bit messy, draggy and too melodramatic at times. A recommended film if you want to watch a beautifully-shot film with a fresh and unexpected narrative. 8/10
