Warner Herzog's documentary of the famed, Volcano chasing French couple is chiefly an aprictiation of the often stunning footage they captured over a quarter century of field work. Much of the film is haunting, but none more so then the footage taken in their final hours, they were killed in a 1991 eruption in Japan. Combing through the footage of others Herzog discovers the last known footage of the couple, a little hazy but matching what they were wearing earlier, this footage was taken likely a few minutes before they overtaken by the pyroclastic flow. I learned the term pyroclastic flow from this movie. ***1/2
