Salt and Fire centres around a mysterious hostage-taking, where the leader of a small scientific delegation is deliberately stranded with two blind boys in an area of gigantic salt flats. The scientist blames the head of a large company for an ecological disaster in South America, but when a volcano begins to show signs of erupting, they must unite to avoid a disaster.
Shot in Bolivia, and written and directed by Werner Herzog, based on a short story by Tom Bissell, and stars Michael Shannon, Veronica Ferres, Gael García Bernal and Volker Michalowski, and it’s difficult to get a handle on this one as there’s no dialogue in the trailer whatsoever. It could be worth a look, however.
Salt and Fire is out in the US on April 7th, but as of yet hasn’t got a release date in the UK.
