Touching the Void. Kevin Macdonald, dir. 2003. DVD.
Review: From Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald comes a riveting true story . . . a "gripping, white-knuckle" (The Village Voice) adventure culminating in a "a cliffhanger . . . a real one" (Los Angeles Times). After scaling the never-before-conquered 21,000-foot Siula Grande, mountain climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates face their greatest challenge yet: getting back down. But when Simpson shatters his leg in an awful fall and the friends are separated by a series of devastating mishaps, their individual journeys become a "voyage into an extreme experience that should not be missed" (New York Post).
