Gorgeous volcano footage captured by the subjects of the documentary. But I could really do without the breathy, disinterested female narrator, acting like all life is a passing dream. You don't learn very much about Maurice and Katia's work except that they sure did love volcanos!
I ended up having similar feelings with this documentary as I did with "The Biggest Little Farm": A film made for California hippies who want to gaze wondrously at nature without actually learning anything.
I think that I would be more inclined to seek out the films which Maurice and Katia created themselves, rather than watching this one again. But this is a decent, pretty-looking time killer.

I prefer Werner Herzogs documentary on these people over this one. Werner Herzog is the docu master.I would recommend that over this. It's called:
The Fire Within: A Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft

Fascinating imagery and documentary about such an adventurous, unusual scientist couple, watered down by Miranda July's narration.Still a must-see.

AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! Makes total sense why this people loved that shit, Its Gorgeous!!!boulderman
Very good, 7/10 wasn't much direction and could have been a better narrator
