Incendies is a 2010 Quebec film written and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's play, Scorched, Incendies follows the journey of two siblings as they attempt to unravel the mystery of their mother's life. The film premiered at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals in September 2010 and was released in Quebec on 17 September 2010. In 2011, it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film
Now the above is from Wikipedia by my review of this dark and at times extremely disturbing film. From two twins hearing the will from their dead mother in Canada to their travels to her homeland to find out her shocking past.
It is heartbreaking and inspiring whilst being extremely raw in parts.
Incendies is not for the light hearted and for people with short attention spans as this not only contains subtitles but runs way over the 2 hour mark.
Impressive scenery, acting and a full on story make this a three star film.
