Good but not the film to watch. The value of this film lies in the incomparable archival footage captured by the Kraffts. However, the filmmaker presents a very one-sided portrait of the couple, leaving important aspects ignored. This is why Werner Herzog’s film, released around the same time, is infinitely superior. (I’ll comment on it in its own entry.) This film is also severely marred by the narration, both the text, which is insipid, saccharine, and often laughingly exaggerated in tone, and its reading by Miranda July, whose breathy monotone soon grates and should put an end to any voice-over career she might have thought of pursuing.

Excellent movie, probably the best documentary of 2022. The technical level of the film is excellent and the cinematographic references are exceptional. The only criticism I have is that the film loses strength in the main final act due to its exposition. :crazy_face:Everyone already knows that they love themselves and science lol

[DOK.fest '22] A beautiful, spectacular and passionate love letter to science, through the images filmed by two lovers, the volcanologists Maurice and Katia Krafft. But the strength of the film is its condition of narration in which the tragedy always underlies, the one towards the scientists seemed to be heading without fear. There is an extraordinary editing with the material filmed and an outstanding use of music.

I will admit to never having heard of Katia and Maurice Kraft before I watched this, and although I did find it interesting, I cannot really say I am too much the wiser about them now either. What makes this documentary work is the amazing footage of nature at it's most beautiful and hostile. It is More

Mixed feelings on this one, as the protagonists seem to be a curious mix of scientists and obsessive-compulsive thrill seekers. What I mean is, if someone spent all their time chasing and documenting structure fires, declaring that they could care less if they died, but only wanted to get as close t More
