Sony Classics has debuted the official US trailer on Apple for the highly acclaimed, Oscar nominated French-Canadian film Incendies, directed by Denis Villeneuve, starring Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin and Maxim Gaudette. This has been receiving incredible reviews since its premiere and could win the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Ed Douglas of ComingSoon said it's one of the few he's ever given a 10/10 to. In his review: "To put it quite plainly and bluntly, Incendies is one of the best films we've seen in some time, an incredibly powerful film that unfolds in such unique and unexpected ways." This is definitely not a trailer to miss! Watch below.

  Tell that to the folks who cut the trailer... they just go with the same ole regular sites that have been around forever and never really think outside the box... I wish they would sometimes. :/
