	Quest for Fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quest for Fire (French: La Guerre du feu) is a 1911 French novel by J.-H. Rosny aîné (1856–1940).
		The Ulams' remaining fire tender (the rest was stolen by the Wagabus) escapes with the tribe's fire, but then accidentally extinguishes it, just when a member finds the remnants of the tribe.
		Upon rejoining the Ulam tribe, the fire tender, having been given the flame, falls in the water, extinguishing the fire.

		Fire became life - it provided warmth, light, and means to create new tools and weapons.
		Man had evolved to be able to create fire without any trouble, he was skilled at creating all sorts of usefull weapons and tools, and the social structure of human tribes was ever more intricate.
		although humans conquered fire long ago, fire is a metaphor for the next step in the evolution of man, a metaphor for the next stage in enlightenment which will reveal secrets of our mysterious universe that our former selves could never have imagined.

		They honor the fire and respect its power, especially since their talent at preserving it is not accompanied by the skill to start new fires at will.
		It is while battling the cannibals, and stealing their fire, that the trio discovers something that may be even more helpful in the long run.
		Most, like Quest for Fire, used made-up primitive languages rather than contemporary speech, but that was the only real concession to period flavor.

	Quest for Fire (1981) - Channel 4 Film review
		Watching Quest For Fire probably rates as one of cinema's stranger experiences - there's no dialogue, only grunts, lots of woolly cavemen and even woollier mammoths.
		It tells the story of three members (Perlman, McGill and El-Kadi) of the Ulam tribe, who go on a search for more fire after their source is accidentally extinguished.
		Not to everyone's taste, certainly, but those of an anthropological bent will appreciate Quest For Fire's admirably detailed portrayal of early man's struggles for survival.

	Amazon.com: Quest for Fire: DVD: Mcgill,Chong,Perlman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Against the perilous atmosphere of rugged terrain, rival tribes and savage beasts, Quest for Fire examines a peaceful tribe's search for that all important element fire, and the knowledge to create it.
		"Quest for Fire" ("Le Guerre du feu") should be a good test for you because in this story, set among the Cro-Magnons of eighty thousand years ago, you know neither the characters nor the plot.
		For now the biggest complaint is that "Quest for Fire" is not yet available in wide-screen, because Claude Agostini's cinematography loses a lot in the scan-and-pan version of this decidedly "foreign" film.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Quest for Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Billed as a "science fantasy adventure" in the days when every other sci-fi release was a rip-off of either Star Wars or Conan the Barbarian, Jean-Jacques Annaud's 1981 Quest for Fire is an astonishingly vivid, gripping, and provocative bit of prehistoric speculation.
		Leaving arguments about science, evolution, and creationism aside, Quest for Fire is both imaginative and realistic (physical communication — designed by famous anthropologist Desmond Morris —; trumps dialogue, which rarely amounts to more than a limited vocabulary of rudimentary sounds created by the great Anthony Burgess), and, best of all, surprisingly intimate.
		Quest for Fire is a gorgeous work of minor art, and Claude Agostini's cinematography is beautifully captured in Fox's 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer, while Philippe Sarde's music is represented by a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track.

		Life 80,000 years ago was short, tough, and brutal and some civilizations had learned that two legged quarry were easier to hunt and, subsequently, eat than some of the fleeter four leggers.

		What the paper had to say about the firing of Mary Peliska reflects nothing if not “active involvement.” This happened in March, and Hanna could not have asked for more in a story.

	dOc DVD Review: Quest for Fire (1981)
		Quest for Fire centers on the Ulam tribe, which has progressed to the point of rudimentary language skills and use of simple tools.
		Their quest takes them among the cannibalistic Kzamm, where they rescue a young woman, Ika (Rae Dawn Chong), from the more advanced Ivaka people.
		Although it isn't per se implausible that different stages of human evolution might have co-existed at once, the fact that four distinct species (distinguished by not only their skills and tools, but their lack of body hair) are here present in a quite small area makes for a bit of a stretch.

	Quest for Fire Review (1981)
		The most important thing in their lives is their fire, which burns at the mouth of their cave, but this day tragedy strikes when they are attacked by a rival tribe of apemen who kill many of them and drive the rest out of their home.
		Perhaps a special language by Johnny Morris would have been more appropriate, because Quest for Fire has its share of unintentional laughs, as you might expect from watching a bunch of grown men and women acting like Cheeta in the Tarzan movies.
		Not wishing to turn cannibal, the trio attack the big bad maneaters for their fire, and in the process save a young, homo sapiens, woman (Rae Dawn Chong, naked apart from body paint) who joins their party.

	Lendmonkey - Quest for Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Quest for Fire is so detailed in its depiction of prehistoric man that it might have been made by time-traveling filmmakers.
		They "steal" fire from nature, but the actual creation of fire remains elusive, lending profound mystery and majesty to the film's climactic, real-time display of fire-making ingenuity.
		Employing primitive language created by novelist Anthony Burgess and body language choreographed by anthropologist Desmond Morris, a unique ensemble of actors push the envelope of their profession, succeeding where they easily could've failed.

	Quest For Fire DVD Review
		“Quest For Fire” is self-described as being a science fantasy adventure and I would have to agree.
		While the makeup might not be up to speed with the modern makeup effects we now have, there is something refreshing about the practical effects and on location shooting, which went across Kenya, Canada, and Iceland, that sets the film apart from today’s eye candy filled CGI epics.
		With all of the background information included on the film, a good transfer, great soundtrack, and the dynamite suggested retail price of only $14.98, which means sales prices are lower, “Quest For Fire” is easy to recommend to anyone who is curious about it and or likes the film already.

	Quest For Fire
		Yep, Quest for Fire, the true story of some cavemen and women from 80,000 years ago is a movie that would never ever see the light of day if it were proposed now.
		However, it lacks the earmarks of any successful movie of the past decade, that is, a plot that puts you to sleep in the first two minutes, and the requisite explosions to wake you back up.
		Fortunately, 'Quest' then moves on to plenty of ice-age slapstick, Neolithic nooky (which might have you questioning your notions of bestiality), and touching scenes of Cro-Magnon marital bliss as the best looking beast hooks up with the fetching Rae Dawn Chong.
