Overview: 'Flames,' which won Best Feature Documentary at the New Hampshire Film Festival recently, is the story of a real romance filmed over five years.

DVD Verdict: Josephine and Zefrey simmer in the white hot apocalypse of first love until the throw of a dart finds them on a spontaneous trip to the Maldives and cracks open the question - is their love true or just a performance?

Directed and written by actors Josephine Decker and Zefrey Throwell, 'Flames' is, at its core, a semi-linear collection of unsimulated sex, emotionally pornographic dramatizations. Not sounding like your cup o' tea and yet still weirdly interested, well, read on.

Sure 'Flames' is (sorry) combustible viewing material, but at its heart is a love story for the ages. The two lead actors are as good as the words they themselves put down on the scripts and act it all out with abandonment and detachment - much like, one assumes, they have spent much their lives together within.

A ritualistic cleansing of sorts, 'Flames' tells a story that if you can sit through the couples' literal up's and down's, is well worth understanding and taking on board for life. Attempting positions resembling an act at Cirque du Soleil combined with a page out of the Kama Sutra, and chock full of sex talk through the ages, put 'Flames' on your must see list today!
