Romance and volcanoes dominate the doc Fire of Love, which debuted at Sundance over the weekend and already ignited a heated bidding war. The French offering from filmmaker Sara Dosa is one of the most discussed pics of the fest and the Rotten Tomatoes rating stands at 100%.

It could follow a similar path to The Rescue, another acclaimed Nat Geo pickup that appears destined to nab a Documentary Feature nomination from the Academy in a couple weeks (and it could win).
