Happy Canada Day, everybody! Today’s Someone Else’s Movie is all about celebrating our own, with writer-director Nik Sexton — whose Newfoundland culture-clash drama Skeet was one of my picks for last year’s TIFF Industry Selects lineup — tackling Incendies, the picture that set Montreal’s own Denis Villeneuve on the path to the superstar career he’s enjoying now.

If you haven’t seen it, Incendies is Denis’ very cinematic 2010 adaptation of Wajdi Mouawad’s stage play, which follows a brother and sister whose investigation of their late mother’s past ends up drawing a map of their own history. It was acclaimed on the festival circuit and parlayed that success into an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign-Language Film, bringing Denis to Hollywood’s attention  and now he’s directing the next Bond picture. Wild, right? But totally deserved, and it’s nice to be able to celebrate it a decade and a half later.

So giddy up, eh? Subscribe to the show on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice, or download the episode directly from the web and listen to it on the flight over to the country of your mother’s birth, wondering what you’ll find.

And then you can get caught up on your Shiny Things reading, not that there was that much of it last week; between one thing and another, I was only able to review Criterion’s new 4K editions of William Friedkin’s Sorcerer and Francois Girard’s Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould — two long-neglected masterworks that are brought back to vivid life in these new releases. Subscribe so you don’t miss the next edition! It’s good for you, probably!
