Description

Amador Coro has been condemned for having provoked a fire. When he gets out of prison, nobody is waiting for him. He returns to his home town, a small village hidden in the mountains of rural Galicia, to live with his mother, Benedicta, and their three cows. Life goes by, following the rhythm of nature. Until one night when a fire starts to devastate the region.

Reviews

“A hypnotic…beautiful, brooding film. Sparks a powerful blaze!!”
—The Hollywood Reporter

“Strikingly beautiful, meditative, elusive.”
—Screen Daily

“You know exactly what climax is coming in Oliver Laxe’s rustically beautiful rural parable, but its dreamy, mesmeric power lies in the waiting.”
—Variety

“Laxe’s film refreshingly occupies an almost uncategorizable cinematic realm.”
—Slant Magazine

“Profoundly empathetic, and simmering until it roars, Fire Will Come culminates in one of recent cinema’s most explosively grand finales.”
—The Film Stage
