Do I think it would be romantic if there were a major volcanic eruption on the weekend that I plan to propose to my future wife? Perhaps, from the right perspective. But for Charli XCX’s character Bethany in the movie Erupcja (that’s Polish for “eruption,” because this movie takes place in Warsaw), it’s a sign that she should instead go hang out and party with her Polish friend Nel (Lena Góra) and ditch her boyfriend Rob (Will Madden). Because apparently whenever she and Nel meet up with each other, a lava-filled structure blows its top. So did this movie lead me to want to make volcanos my new home? Not particularly. Rather, it convinced me that we should all just have a healthy relationship with them.
