10 Amazing Films From 2022 Nobody Is Talking About

Fire Of Love, the award-winning documentary from Sara Dosa, premiered at Sundance this year before receiving a small theatrical release in July. Using hundreds of hours of archival footage, Dosa pieces together the relationship and career of late French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft, who travelled the world to film and study volcanic eruptions before their tragic death in 1991.

Fire Of Love is a piece of cinema which demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible to fully comprehend the immense scale of both the eruptions and the Kraffts’ love, which was just as fiery.
