Synopsis
The combustible chemistry between a Polish florist and a British tourist in this charming postcard of sapphic synchronicity.
Moviegoers are saying
Pete Ohs' 'Erupcja' is a 71-minute improvised indie featuring Charli XCX as Bethany, who abandons her boyfriend in Warsaw for a spontaneous fling when Mount Etna erupts, believing volcanoes respond to her life choices. Shot with minimal crew and scripted on-the-fly with all four leads credited as co-writers, this mumblecore experiment divides audiences between those charmed by its spontaneous poetry and others frustrated by its wispy, meandering approach.

Charli feels so natural in a character so unlike herself (Bethany doesn’t touch a single cigarette the entire movie while everyone around her smoked)

albertbirneySep 4, 2025A 71-minute wisp of a film that moves and sounds like a cartoon wind curlicue, Pete Ohs’ “Erupcja” — the Polish word for “eruption” — was (clearly) shot with half an outline and scripted on the fly, to the point that all four of its main actors are credited as co-writers as…

Pete Ohs’ best film yet.

Charli xcx’s casting adds a metatextual richness to the movie and vice-versa, as the friction between her pop star persona and Bethany’s somnambulant everywoman deepens the sense of a woman divided between the superreal and the literal, the spectacular and the mundane.

The spoken narrative, with its spare, literary diction and vigorous precision, seems to add details and even scenes to the image-scape. The copious observations and reflections that the speaker relates expand the movie—a mere seventy-one minutes long—into a work of novelistic amplitude.
