Review of Free Solo (2018) by Filmanwalt — 17 Dec 2020
Documentation about the extreme climbing type Free Solo. With this type of climbing, the athlete completely dispenses with a safety device, he conquers a route of a Mountain / mountain wall completely free.
Alex Honnold is one of them and has conquered the El Capitan. The documentary captures wonderful images and at the same time conveys the immense danger of this undertaking.
Even more, this documentation manages to show the human side of the protagonist and, above all, to show it authentically. The great strength lies in the drama of the whole thing, the sadness that goes with the protagonist and the incredibly strong love for climbing.
I have seldom seen such a captivating but also approachable well-illuminated documentation ... very clear recommendation.
