Touching the Void


(15)


Kevin Macdonald's excellent BAFTA-award winning docu-drama (and Evening Standard Film Of The Year 2004), based on Joe Simpson's best-selling book, details the risks that climbers will take to conquer the rocky challenges before them in recounting a climbing expedition gone horribly wrong. The gripping, inspiring film combines dramatic reconstructions of the potentially fatal climb and interviews with the two men it nearly killed.

This is an amazing movie. I've seen it several times, once it came out on DVD I bought it.
