Incendies currently dominates Dune 73–27
The Quebec tragedy routs the desert blockbuster.
The Verdict Director's Cut
This matchup has 15 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
A 2010 Quebec drama, subtitled and unsparing, overwhelming a studio tentpole shouldn't happen, and that improbability is the whole story here. Incendies is a quiet excavation of a family's history in a war-torn country, building without raising its voice toward a final movement that reorganizes everything before it. Dune is enormous, unanimous, and, by design, only a beginning. A result this lopsided says a film that arrives at a complete and shattering truth outlasts a film that stops at the threshold of its own story. Spectacle you admire in the theater. This ending you carry out to the car and keep.
