Incendies

Canada

Very powerful film. A mother's will starts a pair of adult siblings on to a trip into her past with devastating results.

The quest was presented with minimal information to the audience which was OK but I never did learn what country they started from or where most of the action took place. Perhaps it was intended to be generic but I did find it frustrating. The mother was badly mistreated in several parts of the narrative...almost to the point where I wasn't willing to watch any more. Torture, suffering get old fast.

Still this was a major production with a complicated story, set in different parts of the world that came together brilliantly at the conclusion.
