Mountain (2018)

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It is perfect for a screen saver, just make sure it is muted.Fantastic footage, breathtaking scenes and empty story. Music can be pretty annoying as well.

"To those who are enthralled by mountains their wonder is beyond all dispute... to those who are not, their allure is a kind of madness!"It takes us through that inexplicable journey to a higher plane with some explanations on how you get into that mad spell in first place.That "the mountains we climb are not only made of rock and ice, but also dreams and desire.They are mountains of the mind!" It also weighs up that sublime takeaway of an expedition by beautifully summarizing how one comes back to the world from heights with experiences that cannot be expressed or be priced.A moving visual marvel that leaves the ones who seeks the pinnacles within and the summits laid out out by the nature, spellbound!

I just really enjoyed the experience of watching this movie. I thank this film for showing me the beauty I have not yet experienced.I saw that a lot of people hated the narration and the music and said it sounded like cacophony, but for me they both worked really great. In fact I especially liked the slightly twisted and heavy feeling the opening music gave. It lightened something up inside of me with its magic and led me through this unforgettable journey.

A gifted director and cinematographer film their buddies free climbing El Capitan at Yosemite and the like, accompanied by the sublime arrangements of a world class chamber orchestra.We were lucky enough to catch this in live performance after skiing for the day in the Australian Alps, and I honestly thought we'd be asleep within ten minutes.... but it was riveting. The director Jennifer Peedom brings a wonderfully poetic sensitivity to put the viewer in the picture, as if you are there... awestruck by the majesty of some of the world's wildest places, and pumped by the adrenaline of the risks of personal conquest. William Dafoe presents a compelling narrative by travel writer Robert Macfarlane with a gravelly charm, and there, in the background, is Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, casting a spell with their beautiful harmonies...when you go and see this at the cinema, if you can bear it, close your eyes during Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and listen to Tognetti's violin soar....you won't be disappointed.
