Incendies

So powerful, stunning. Villeneuve stories are quite simple (in a way), maybe that is what creates the vast space for enveloping emotional realities (I cannot wait for Dune). Awe; something about his works makes me feel like I become one with them. A concentrated microcosmic image of war/brutality from the feeling perspective of the feminine.

Quite possibly still Denis Villeneuve's best movie, even as his success in English-language films has launched him to the Hollywood godhead of rebooting a franchise. The final twist is a bit much, but there's an interesting, expertly crafted film in here about rootless westerners, raised with the privilege of a stable society, forced to confront horror in the Middle East. Brutal education is a Villeneuve trademark.

It's clear that Denis Villeneuve has "show don't tell" tatooed on his retinae. The opening two scenes - Radiohead in the desert, twins in the notary's office - are masterpieces of "yep, I'm in" storytelling, hooking the audience like no other film that year, not releasing its grip until it atmospherically creeps its way to an admittedly fantastical denouement.

Rewatched and re-loved. I'm speechless again. You and whose army? and Like spinning plates...there are no words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWglVPKHQGM you forget so easy we ride tonight ghost horses...

Denis Villeneuve announced himself as a voice to watch in global cinema with 2010's "Incendies," a harrowing family saga that possesses the historical sweep of "The Godfather" films alongside that same almost apocalyptic sense of arid heat and desolation Villeneuve conjured in "Sicario." Considering how well the screenplay mines Greek tragedy, it's a small miracle the film concludes with a shred of hope.

Oh god.... i want to erase my memory about this film... and want to watch it over and over again..... There are extremely powerful and unforgettable images and scenes in Incendies. This film will capture your attention from the start and grips you right till the end.

Uma obra prima recente. Uma dubiedade e uma suspensão das certezas que só termina quando o espectador compartilha com os personagens um sentimento de profunda desolação. A circularidade da história de uma mãe, que desencadeia uma série de acontecimentos imprevistos e devastadores. Denis Villeneuve sabe como contar uma história cuja força está nas entrelinhas.

Amazingly directed. Beautiful soundtrack. And a very harsh plot. Definitely worth seeing for it's a very nice piece of cinema and awakes you, once more, to the complex human nature.
