"This has to be one of the most heartwarming movies about scientists ever made, especially as it always honors the red-hot nature in their shared passion."—Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com
"The film oscllates between the playfully on the nose and the existentially profound with the confidence of a volcano chaser surfing on a river of lava."—Pat Brown, Slant Magazine
"An engrossing and ultimately emotionally overwhelming portrait of these two remarkable people."—Tom Beasley, Flickering Myth
Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things — each other and volcanoes. For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting their discoveries. Ultimately, they lost their lives in a 1991 volcanic explosion, leaving a legacy that forever enriched our knowledge of the natural world. Director Sara Dosa and the filmmaking team fashion a lyrical celebration of the intrepid scientists’ spirit of adventure, drawing from the Kraffts’ spectacular archive. FIRE OF LOVE tells a story of primordial creation and destruction, following two bold explorers as they venture into the unknown, all for the sake of love.
