Details

This special limited edition slipcover (designed by Matt Needle) is limited to 500 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

KimStim is a Brooklyn based, full-service distribution company dedicated to the release of exceptional independent, foreign, and documentary film. Founded in 2000 by Mika Kimoto and Ian Stimler, KimStim brings to US and North American audiences selected films from around the world gleaned from the most prestigious film festivals and include top prize winners from Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, and Tribeca.

Following Mimosas, Oliver Laxe’s third feature brings us to his ancestral home of Galicia. Here, in this remote Spanish region, where the grandeur of nature is both beautiful and terrifying, Laxe unfolds a story of the uncontrollable forces of nature on human lives.

After serving two years in prison for arson, Amador (Amador Arias), returns to his mountainside village in north-west Spain, where he resumes a serene, if mostly solitary, existence tending cabbages and injured cows with his ageing mother, Benedicta (Benedicta Sánchez). Life resumes for the two following the rhythm of nature despite the suspicious glares of the unforgiving locals —until one night a devasting fire ignites that threatens to engulf the entire region. Stunningly captured on 16mm by DP Mauro Herce, this quietly explosive drama was the winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at Cannes last year.

Existential Masterpiece

"Masterpiece of visual storytelling. The opening sequence with the trees and then the main character driving over the bridge with beautiful music is in my top 5 of opening sequences of all time. Right up there with Fellinis 8 1/2, Carlos Reygadas Japon, Tarkovskys Solaris, and Tobe Hoopers Texas chainsaw massacre. Beautiful cinematography, excellent acting by all, and great soundtrack. The main character is an enigma. . . he says very little. The director keeps him mostly a mystery which I appreciated. Every time I watch this I have different ideas about him. . . . sometimes good sometimes bad. Great for repeated viewings. I owned this on dvd before KimStim partnered with vinegar syndrome. So happy to have this now on blu ray with an excellent slip. Only problem with packaging is there is no booklet of essays and pics. Maybe KimStim will one day give us a 4k with booklet and possible a vinyl soundtrack?:)"

Great flick, some of those

"Great flick, some of those fire scenes will make the hair on the back of your neck stair up. Really realistic portrayal too. Short powerful flick."

Up In Flames

"Fire Will Come is a quiet, haunting drama that explores grief, isolation, and the destructive power of nature through the eyes of a man trying to rebuild his life after a devastating fire. The film’s deliberate pacing and stunning natural cinematography create an almost meditative atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s a slow burn, but the emotional depth and raw realism make it a quietly powerful watch."

Fire Will Come

"Captivating film about a man returning home to his old mother after serving time for arson. The suspicious locals know who to blame when another fire starts. Highly recommended"

Hansi L. (5/5)

Excellent encode, informative Q&A

"Solid VS Partner Label gdition. Great film, nicely encoded. Glad that KimStim included the Q&A with the great DP Ed Lachman. It’s a nice addition to a fine edition."
