How to tell a story
24 November 2011 | by (Italy) – See all my reviews

In this docu-movie, Joe Simpson shows how to tell a true story in a modern, breathtaking way. He gives a description of the events from outside but also from inside, climbing part of the mountain (the well-known Eiger) himself. He goes deep in the characters feelings, just by comparing their emotions with his own. A story about the mountaineers and about the men behind the climbers.

Pretty influenced by the other awarded Simpson's movie "Touching the void", "The Beckoning Silence" is again a great narration about the risk, the hopes, and the fragility of life. If you want to understand what could be to climb a mountain you have to see it. If you want to understand what could be d man you have to see it.
