What films from the Criterion Closet inspire Sara Dosa as a filmmaker?
The heart-melting romance and fiery passion are stables in some of the greatest works in cinema. Whether or not we are drawn to these types of stories, filmmaker Sara Dosa can’t help but love the exploration of love triangles and death-defying explorations to capture ground-breaking footage of erupting volcanoes, which became their demise.
Fire of Love explores the lives of scientists and lovers Katia and Maurice Krafft who died in the 1991 Mount Unzen eruption. The film is crafted from archival footage of the couple and narrated by Dosa and Miranda July and has some of the most stunning footage of any film from 2022.
Fire of Love is Dosa’s fourth film as a director and has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The doc is deeply moving from the extremity of nature footage to the complicated love of a couple dedicated to their craft.
