The vine bore fruit, and it's harvest time. Soraia, a young girl, cuts herself. Blood mixes with wine. A black bull is on the loose. Up in the oak trees, time swells, and a community takes shelter. They share bread and wine, memories and dreams, the history of a landscape. We enter a long night, where nature also speaks. The fiery wind that brings the heatwaves, it's burning.

Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The prodigious photography of [director] Mateus herself and Carvalho make the experience, although narratively elusive and somewhat disconcerting, beautiful in aesthetic terms. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Oct 16, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews Marta Mateus’ Fire of Wind contains imagery that is pretty to the eye, yet the filmmaker remains static in her vision. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Alex Lei In Review Online [Fire of Wind] feels indebted to the contemporary master of Portuguese cinema (and perhaps European cinema as a whole), Pedro Costa. Mateus is not merely a borrowing, however, but also delivering a bold iteration. Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine If "Fire" is familiar in both its austerity and quasi-revolutionary solidarity, Mateus’s command of her craft is clear, and her service in maintaining a particular lineage of severity admirable. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Ultimately a tad tiresome even with a slim running time of seventy-four minutes, Fire of Wind suggests Mateus has the eye of a formidable filmmaker, but the narrative feels like more of a concept than statement. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
