"Fire Of Love": Movie Review
Written By Alex Greenbaum
Every year, a film comes along that dramatically surpasses my tepid expectations. A National Geographic-produced feature film, "Fire Of Love" documents the research of two volcanologists in the 1980s to early 1990s, who capture some of the most stunning imagery I've ever seen on film. Katia and Maurice Krafft's love for their profession and each other shines through. It's edited so masterfully, with a perfect music score and poetic written narration, that you will most likely forget you're watching a documentary.
"Fire Of Love" made me pine for the days of 70mm IMAX screens. Sitting in my living room, streaming off of Disney Plus, felt like a crime as the otherworldly footage stunned my senses. It explores our passions, ambitions, and the ability to love no matter the cost. There's much to learn and respect about Katia and Maurice, who went above and beyond to pursue their research into volcanos. Each is unique in their perspective, but both end up with that kid-like admiration that remains infectious.
I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. "Fire Of Love" invigorates and inspires. It's a magical character study that defies the odds and bolts forward with vital energy. Director & writer Sara Dosa and crew should be incredibly proud of how their efforts have transcended the bounds of what is achievable in documentaries. Feast your eyes; it's extraordinary.
