  Heterosexuality is a woman being like "I am risking my life to study the minutiae of volcanos" and her husband being like "my goal is to row a canoe down a river of lava!"

  The Life Volcanic with Katia and Maurice Krafft

  French New Wave rom-com-tragi-documentary about a volcanologist power couple made me weep in the AMC. a starry-eyed reminder of romance and science’s unlikely propensity to intertwine, told using sizzling 16mm archival footage and lyrical voiceover narration that i truly believed was performed by Jennifer Jason Leigh until the end credits told me it was Miranda July? lmk if i should be tarred & feathered for thinking this!
