This movie only came up on my radar cause I’ve recently binged Denis Villeneuve movies (sicario, prisoners, and arrival), which were all amazing. Incendies is not as well known by him, but I decided to watch it cause I’ve enjoyed his other work so much
And oh my god.... that movie was a roller coaster of emotions. I’ve never felt so shaken after watching a movie. I won’t mention anything about the plot cause I think it’s best you watch going in blind. But holy shit! I literally have no words for how incredibly beautiful but yet dark and haunting that movie is.
I watched it alone and have no one to talk to about it, so I decided to share my thoughts here lol
Easily a top 5 movie I’ve ever seen and I think Denis’ best work. Please, if you need a movie to watch, watch Incendies. The first 45 minutes or so were hard to get into just cause it’s in 2 different languages and the timeline jumps around a bit but you get used to it. Anyway, go watch this movie.
Looking for movies based on geo-political tension like intelligence agency or terrorism.
I'd prefer a non-American plot.
Thank you!
This is just such a beautifully layered drama/thriller with an absolutely insane screenplay, but more importantly it has easily one of the greatest plot twists in cinema history and I just feel isn't as popular or rated enough due to it not being of American origin. Please watch it if you're ever looking to have your mind blown, brilliant movie that got me out of my bed and give a standing ovation to my laptop!
Just finished Incendies and my god was it amazing. Denis Villenueve did it yet again. The way he is able to tell a story and create an immersive world for the viewer to become engulfed in is amazing. The acting, the writing, the cinematography is all phenomenal. 9.5/10. Probably tied with Arrival for my favorite Villenueve film. It made me even more excited for Dune.
You guys know any good movies you can recommend? Preferably Arabic speaking ones but other languages are fine.
I'm stuck in isolation for the week and looking to devastate myself emotionally. Haven't came across anything as impactful as these two for quite a while.
I'm super keen to see this film but my usual cinema buddy isn't around for it!
Screenings at 8.30pm and if you're 25 and under there's an option to get BFI tickets for just £3. If anyone's keen let me know :)
Les autorités françaises ont annoncé la mort de deux personnes à la suite des incendies qui brûlent depuis lundi les forêts près de la ville côtière de Saint-Tropez dans le sud de la France, sans donner de précisions supplémentaires sur les causes du décès. Ils ont également signalés que 24 autres personnes avaient été blessées, la plupart dues à l’inhalation de fumée.
