On June 3rd, 1991, a pyroclastic flow - a cloud of superheated gases and particles - descended at over 100mph from the peak of the Mount Unzen in Japan, consuming everything in its path. It instantly killed Katia and Maurice Krafft, volcanologists from the Alsace region in France. The Kraffts left an archive of over 200 hours of footage, unprecedented in its spectacular and hypnotic beauty. Filmmaker Werner Herzog, who had access to the entire archive, created a requiem celebrating the legacy of Katia and Maurice Krafft.
