La voie Jackson (1981)
competition to death
8 December 2006
It's a classical story of mountaineers. Two rope parties are competing for a famous impassable face. All along the difficulties they are facing, characters are refined, even sharpened. When exhaustion and death occur, the two parties merge and the new group try to escape to death. It's really difficult to decide to give up when you're an climber. The "grand finale" is emotionally imposing. Impossible to not have a lump in your throat!
The cast is terrific: Marie-Josée Neuville, Guy Marchand, Sami Frey, Edward Meek... Marie-José Neuville is particularly impressive.
CHEF D'OEUVRE!
