What Afire Is About
A sour writer goes to a summer house on the Baltic to finish his book, finds someone unexpected already there, and there is a fire in the forest. Christian Petzold builds the film on a man obstructing himself: he says constantly that he wants to work and blames other people constantly. The fire stays in the background like a news item for a long time, and that distance is the best thing in it. Comedy and catastrophe proceed together. The ending changes the register entirely, without warning.
