"Spectacular. You have to see it in a theater to experience the enormity of it." - NPR

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.

Critic's Pick! "What might look like recklessness is part of a devotion that takes on a moral — even spiritual — dimension."
- The New York Times

"A wholly satisfying, overwhelming documentary, as disarming as it is explosive."
- The Wrap

"This is a film that pops on the big screen — no CGI needed here, folks... [Fire of Love] is one of the most moving and memorable films of 2022."
- San Francisco Chronicle

"The film is about wonder, not balance, and it turns us delirious in the white heat of this pair's chaotic unflinching passion."
- Time Out

"One of the year’s few awe-inspiring documentaries — a visually ravishing record, a bustling adventure, and an engrossing character study."
- The Wall Street Journal
