I actually like Incendies better than anything else he's done. It's the movie that made me sit up and keep watch on his career, and was my 2nd favourite film of 2010 (which was one of the strongest years I can think of for film in the past twenty years). Either way, well worth checking out.

One of the most absorbing, thrillingly dense storytelling experiences I've seen onscreen.…
