Our take
Before he became one of the biggest names in blockbuster filmmaking, Denis Villeneuve scored an Oscar® nod for Best Foreign Language Film with this visceral thriller. Tracing the indelible scars of war across oceans and generations, Incendies is a globetrotting mystery of singular emotional power.
