Originally premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival in the U. S. Documentary Competition.
This film is directed by Sara Dosa and it is about two Intrepid scientists and lovers Katia and Maurice Krafft who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unraveling the mysteries of volcanoes by capturing the most explosive imagery ever recorded. While it explores about their past works and giving an informative and somewhat comedic story about their own lives. There are so many good footage filmed by Katia and Maurice themselves when exploring their work. There are many breathtaking scenes of volcanoes exploding or active ones as if these scenes were on the big screen, I have to assume it will look really really beautiful to say the least. Narrated by Miranda July, her voice provided some good insight about the story while speaking in a somewhat ASMR tone. Although it did get a little distracting at times, I was able to get use to the voice over pretty quickly.
Great sound design helps to give a good presence, great animation to help explore the moments, and really smart editing choices. I am not surprised that this documentary won the best editing at the Sundance Film Festival. It's very informative and at times humorous at the same time. If this documentary ever comes out near you, give it a watch.
Rating: A-
