Danis Tanovic continues his Oscar worthy ways with L'Enfer.

A complete departure from the film that "No Man's Land" is, L'Enfer is visually beautiful with intricate interwoven plot lines.

The film starts out seemingly slow, a jumble of scenes with no obvious relevance or message starting with the opening title sequence. Yet as the film unfolds, early scenes come increasingly into focus, with ever intensifying clarity of understanding and pertinence.

The primary cast including Emmanuelle Beart, Karin Viard, and Marie Gillain, are brilliant, all showing top performances.

Will Tanovic receive another Oscar nod for L'Enfer? Probably not, but this film is certainly deserving of attention.
