Review of Touching the Void (2003) by Loy M — 13 Sep 2013
Touching the Void is a Adventurous Docudrama of two young mountaineers - Joe Simpson and Simon Yates who in their testosterone filled youth set off to climb the Treacherous West Face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes 'Alpine style' - that is climbing without setting up ropes or base camps ahead of time. And what follows is nothing but spine chilling, ,mind numbing, breath-taking and heart pounding.
Incredible performances by Brendan Mackey and Nicholas Aaron. But the applause has to go to Director Ken Macdonald - who truly gets into the character and the story and delivers what will remain as one of the finest docudramas I have watched in a very long time.
I couldn't stop watching this movie until it got over.
A Must Watch.
Overall Rating - 10 out of 10.
