this is one great film. the mountain climbing sequences are very impressively done and extremely well photographed. tracy is amazing as the righteously moral brother and his performance is nuanced as to not make it a caricature which could have easily happened in the type of character he was asked to portray. wagner has the more showy part as a villainous egomaniac, willing to do anything - even commit murder - to make his dreams of wealth come true. i love films that deal with mountain climbing such as the clint eastwood film, the eiger sanction, but this film even beats that one !

every year, mountainfilm hosts over one hundred special guests, including speakers at the moving mountains symposium, guest presenters, filmmakers, film subjects, judges, panel participants, artists and other luminaries. feel free to browse through our rich archives to see some of the previous personalities who have graced mountainfilm stages .
mountainfilm is more than a film festival. we select over 100 films each year from around the world, and curate them alongside guest presentations, our all - day symposium, parties, scheduled conversations, outdoor programs, book signings and musical events. the result is a four - day event like no other .
not far into the film there is a scene so incredibly terrifying and mind - blowing, depicting the pointlessness and cruelty of war like only the opening of saving private ryan managed so far. from there, we follow the beginnings of a love story in flash backs while law is trying to make his way back to kidman from war. the people he encounters and situations he has to endure are incredibly dire and pessimistic, leaving little space for hope. the film is very beautifully shot and the story is engaging even through some slower parts. whether you like the ending or not is for each to decide, i suppose .
the audience creates an additional, parallel, soundtrack, with collective gasps, sighs of relief and, when the feats of daring verge on implausible, incredulous laughter (footage of the mountain biker danny macaskill on scotland’s cuillin ridgeline has everyone guffawing) .
peedom begins the film in black - and - white, with the members of the australian chamber orchestra limbering up at the sydney opera house, where mountain premiered last week. that' s the last we see of them, with editors christian gazal (sherpa) and scott gray (top of the lake) cutting to elevation before a string is plucked. in a queasily transporting sequence that had the sydney audience holding its collective breath, the camera swoops in on a free climber (without ropes) scaling up a sheer cliff face, and our proximity to him is vertigo - inducing .
despite being 91, jack’s memory of life behind barbed wire is vivid. he was a young man when he was sent to cody, wy. having just tied the knot, he jokes that they honeymooned at heart mountain. he’s the father of darrell and dale .
the film' s fragments are held together by the score, which sometimes works in interesting counterpoint to the images, undercutting awe with horror. the aco collaborated with jonny greenwood a couple of years ago but largely resist ambient atmospherics here, favoring violin, piano, cello and vocals with a composite score that burnishes images of extreme risk - taking without sacrificing delicacy .
where sherpa – peedom’s bafta award - nominated 2015 documentary – was a critique of the everest industry in which local guides take disproportionate risks for wealthy and thrill - seeking foreigners, mountain is an unashamed tribute to the western adventurers who are willing to risk their lives climbing the world’s great heights .
patti hirahara’s father and grandfather had a secret dark room under their barracks. in the years they were imprisoned, they took thousands of photos of camp life. the hirahara photo collection tells the story of heart mountain through pictures. thanks to patti for sharing this important collection with the world !
awed and attracted. he is one of the most aggressive and talented freeskiers of our age. born and raised in the bc backcountry, with a bloodline alive with adventure and a style carved from the landscape itself, kye petersen is about to blow the doors off of big mountain skiing .
only three centuries ago, setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. mountains were places of peril, not beauty, an upper world to be shunned, not sought out. why do mountains now hold us spellbound, drawing us into their dominion, often at the cost of our lives? mountain is a cinematic and musical collaboration between acclaimed director jennifer peedom (sherpa) and the australian chamber orchestra (aco), one of the greatest chamber orchestras in the world. shot by the world’s best adventure cinematographers and written by best selling author robert macfarlane, this feature documentary will explore the troubled and triumphant history of our timeless fascination with mountains .
a four man team sent from headquarters to repair a comm station suddenly falls into a terrorist ambush on the peaks of a mountain. two conscripted turkish soldiers, one an educated, wealthy young man, the other a coarse street smart ruffian, have to put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to survive an unforgiving situation .
fearful yet fascinated. numinous explores the relationships and connections with the natural world that are necessary to safely dance with mountain faces covered in snow. tuning out and tuning in. shot exclusively in british columbia, numinous follows kye and a cadre of fellow snow - sliders into the heart of the some of the most aesthetic and demanding landscapes around .
wow! !! stunning footage, genuinely excellent. narration solid and timely. the first frames sum up the whole film -' those who dance are considered mad... by those who cannot hear the music
i wish i couldnt hear the music! !! ! it is so bad i lasted 12 minutes and 29 seconds. if this was released with no music and narration only it would probably be very very good. i am genuinely dumbstruck
an orthodox jewish woman living in a vast cemetery on jerusalem’s mount of olives struggles with her husband’s lack of interest in her in yaelle kayam’s subtle, handsome “mountain. ” impressively balancing the predictable (has rat poison ever been used just on rodents ?) with the unexpected, the first - time feature writer - director weaves a complex portrait of a constrained life, [ … ]
renan ozturk, the high - altitude cinematographer who worked on sherpa, is back behind the camera, with his footage making up more than 60% of the final cut. the archive of the canadian production house sherpas cinema is also mined, with the end result providing astonishing vision of mountaineers, ice climbers, free soloists, speedflyers, heliskiers, snowboarders, wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers .
mountain briefly revisits territory trodden by sherpa, with footage of hundreds of climbers in a cold - climate conga line to the everest summit. “this isn’t climbing, it’s queuing, ” dafoe intones as we see an oxygen - masked climber revel in his moment at the peak as those behind him wish he’d hurry the hell up. breathtaking footage of the 2015 avalanche that hit everest base camp and killed 22 people, many of them sherpas, reminds us that “the most risks [ are ] taken by those who have least” .
the peaks in mountain are both irresistible and formidable: snow cakes on sunlit heights like lashings of whipped cream; climbers huddle in a tent swinging on a sheer rock face, waiting out a blizzard as avalanches thunder around them; mountaineers celebrate their arrival at a peak by passing around a joint; a rock climber plummets, his body slamming against the cliff like a flailing spider - man; a lone hiker’s fist punctures the sky upon arrival at a summit; a stranded australian climber whimpers, “oh god, take me home. ”
“mountain” constantly upends expectation, turning tzvia into an ever - more intriguing character without the pretense of getting inside her head and making her all - knowable. since she’s a religious woman, it’s presumed that the tome she silently reads from in the cemetery is a prayer book: instead, it’s poetry written by a woman buried there. her fascination with the prostitutes and their work may seem unusual for an orthodox woman, but kayam is specifically forcing auds to question such assumptions: why is it unusual for a woman, any woman, to be interested in sex ?
a small turkish army squad are left to guard a field antenna on a border mountain. it suddenly falls to an ambush from isis. it' s a heroic story of two soldiers trapped in the ambush, fighting for their lives. there' s an interesting and humorous interplay between an educated, wealthy young man, the other a coarse street smart ruffian. in a series of backstory flashbacks we learn more about their lives and their digs. the protagonist is very reminiscent of the young' taylor' from the oscar winning epic, platoon. they put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to try and survive an unforgiving situation. the landscape is beautiful and tension is moderate as we await their pickup .
klein has an open, kindhearted face that effortlessly conveys sympathy of character; it’s impossible not to like her, especially when itay marom’s camera casts her in a naturally golden glow. subtle shifts in lighting, from warm to a cooler white, effectively capture changes in mood, and the sense of place is expertly caught in both lensing and art direction. from the view of al - aqsa mosque (the temple mount) through the kitchen window, to her daily awakening by the sound of the muezzin’s call, the pic ensures that viewers are reminded of where they are, in a no man’s land (or rather, a dead man’s land) caught between multiple religions. equally palpable, via such images as a striking nighttime shot of tzvia holding a flashlight and walking up the tomb - filled hillside, to the cavern - like interiors of the family home, “mountain” conveys the sense of a living woman entombed .
a vast cemetery on the slopes of the mount of olives is the striking setting for yaelle kayam’s subtle, handsome debut feature .
her name is tzvia (klein), or at least that’s what she tells a drunken prostitute one night, well into the drama — otherwise, no one ever utters her name. she’s mother of four, wife to yeshiva teacher reuven (avshalom pollak), and she spends her days with housework in their home surrounded by the ancient cemetery spread out over the mount of olives. a devout woman with her head always covered, tzvia is starved for adult company, since reuven’s job often keeps him away until past dinner time .
two hasidic women ring her bell after a funeral, asking if they can use her bathroom; their brief conversation allows the script to quickly convey background information in an organic way without coming across as didactic. clearly tzvia would like to move from this isolating locale and be a part of a community, but reuven’s job is earning him ever - increasing recognition, and besides, he’s not paying attention to his wife’s needs on any level. pushing their beds together doesn’t help, and about the only time she sees him now is when he’s performing early morning prayers .
frustrated by the lack of company and tired of largely being cooped up inside all day, she strolls the cemetery; one night she sees a prostitute servicing a client. another evening she takes a pair of binoculars and realizes there’s quite a business going on at one end, with several pimps overseeing a few alcoholic whores. when she’s discovered, the pimps rough her up, but the next night she brings them food — it’s a bizarre arrangement for everyone, yet they maintain a wary silence, allowing her to sit by and observe .
outside her family, the only regular human contact she has is with abed (haitham ibrahem omari), the palestinian caretaker of the cemetery. he’s consistently courteous and respectful, while she’s self - conscious not only because he’s a man but also (it’s implied) because he’s palestinian. he opens up to her at one moment about his own loveless marriage, yet she’s unable to consider him a kindred spirit. it’s easier, perhaps, to risk a hesitant association with a drunken prostitute, even though she’s humiliated by her .

willem dafoe narrates this feature doc about the seductive power of mountains from ‘sherpa’ director jennifer peedom .
the impressionistic narration credited to peedom and macfarlane locates the rise of cities as the point at which recreational climbing began, driven by a desire to reconnect with nature. a quick history lesson follows, with footage of early alpine tourists snowplowing down gentle inclines, and hillary and tenzing glimpsed briefly. their courage is contrasted, in a capsule version of the argument peedom made in sherpa, with that of everest - goers in 2017, who depend on the disproportionate risks taken by the local sherpa population. today' s adventurers don' t climb, dafoe tells us — they queue .

“as everyday life becomes safer for some, we seek out danger elsewhere, ” he suggests. “you never feel so alive knowing that any minute you could die. ”
high altitudes are “a space where time warps and bends and sensations are thrillingly amplified … [ it ] induces in us forms of insanity and forms of grace. ”
“mountains are so much more than a challenge, or an adversary to be overcome, ” macfarlane reminds us after a sobering close - up of an active volcano .
“mountains humble the human instinct … restore our wonder and challenge our arrogance. more than ever we need their wildness. ”

in the italian dubbing, the
new silk rope
becomes a
new nylon rope
. this is due to the popularity of nylon ropes then in italy, as they had been used in the recent 1954 italian expedition to k2, which received lots of media attention in italy at the time .
when zachary and chris are preparing the climb, zachary takes the best rope, saying to chris :
you' ll be on the end of my rope; if something goes wrong, i' ll be on the end of your rope. wanna change ?
yet, the day after, we always see zachary climbing with his rope on the backpack (a plain white one, so presumably the best
silk new one
), while chris has no rope on his backpack: this means they are climbing using chris' s rope, the
second best one
.

movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
inman, a civil war confederate soldier, is seriously wounded in battle before heading home to north carolina to his pre - war beloved, ada. in his absence, ada - - with the help of a young drifter named ruby - - is desperately trying to hold onto the farm of her deceased missionary father. inman' s long journey home takes him through the crumbling confederacy, as he meets people of all walks of life who want to both aid and hinder his mission .
cold is right - - anthony minghella' s pretty, star - studded adaptation of the bestselling civil war romance never makes it above freezing .
it' s enough of a spectacle to enjoy. it' s too bad the stars are little more than serviceable and give the movie title an irony it could certainly do without .
minghella' s movie is stern and lucid for the most part and immensely enlivened by the presence of zellweger and hoffman who bring amusement to their roles .
there are minor merits. mostly handsome production values, to mingehlla' s screen version of the acclaimed novel .
only renee zellweger maintains a southern accent in this laughable attempt by director anthony minghella (
the english patient
) at filming charles frazier' s love story set amidst the turmoil of the civil war .
charles frazier' s distinctly american take on the personal ravages of the civil war and what small hope may be salvaged from it' s incalcuable wreakage, gets lost somewhat in this curiously foreign view of his simple yet elegant piece (why are all the principals from overseas? were there no americans with vision or chutzpah enough to take this on ?) we are left then with the shoestring romance of two lonely strangers separated by war who endeavor to overcome its apparent difficulties and return to each other' s side. this is capably performed, undoubtably, yet the ghost of frazier' s intent is manifest by its absence .
this world won' t stand long. god won' t let it stand this way long .
producer lorenzo di bonaventura has hired a very impressive cast including josh brolin, jeff bridges, andie macdowell, jennifer connelly, and taylor kitsch. (imdb has a full list of the cast. )
the producers behind a movie about the elite firefighting team that lost 19 members in a 2013 arizona wildfire assure the story focuses on the firefighters’ dedication, not the way in which they died .
the movie will be filming in santa fe, los alamos and several other cities in new mexico through early september. it is slated to open in theaters in september 2017 .
producer lorenzo di bonaventura said the plot will focus on eric marsh, who led the crew, and brendan mcdonough, the only surviving hotshot crew member. he said it will not focus on tragedy or the exact details of the fire .
“this movie is about the lives of these people and what they were trying to put on the line, and what it meant to them to do what they were doing and what it meant to the community to have them doing it, ” he said.
