The Summit of the Gods

A combination of everything that mountaineering films should do well and, in this case, do. It grabs you with suspense, forces the viewer to freeze in horror at the endless drops, and yet fascinates you with a view that is unmatched. The Summit of the Gods, thanks to a unique intercultural cooperation, works in all the mentioned aspects. However, the focus is still on introspective and retrospective values, which makes it worth seeing not only for me, who came to visit the pensive animation, but also for someone who has encountered the genre many times. The only thing I still (fortunately) don't understand is the power of that lure, which can willingly bring a grown man to the outer edge of life and make him willing to step beyond it. (27.05.2022)
