Alpine Fire is as heady and intoxicating as the thin mountain air of the Alps in which it takes place. The entire film is set far above the rest of the world, and the isolated location influences both the characters and the film style.

The time is the present, but the home has no television or telephone, and it seems remote in many ways.Read More »
