MOUNTAIN (movie)

For those terrified of heights, Mountain will be a nonstop nightmare. But big scares are a small price to pay for the awe-inspiring footage you will be treated to. Australian film-maker Jennifer Peedom’s film presents a continuous sequence of mountains on all seven continents; breathtaking ranges and snow-capped peaks are seen from above, below and on their slopes. Footage includes climbers, skiers, and extreme mountain bikers taking risks that seem beyond outrageous. The sweeping, gorgeous, close-up imagery—combined with slow, calm, relaxing narration (delivered by Willem Dafoe) and symphonic music performed by the Australian Chamber Orchestra—adds to the goosebumps and creates an experience that viewers truly feel.
