Review of Meru (2015) by Netflic — 30 Aug 2015
If it were a work of fiction or even "based on real events", I would say "no way", but it's a documentary, with collaborating evidence that it is a true depiction of events. The movie is "Meru", a namesake of a mountain in Himalayas. It's not a tall mountain, 7000 feet lower than Everest, but a central part of it, "a shark's tail" has remained unconquered, being one of the technically most difficult mountains in the world (imagine, it took 10 hours to climb 150 feet).
This movie is the story of three Americans attempting to climb Meru, while filming their accent.
I am not going to spoil it for you with with details and amazing twists. As one of the three guys quipped: "Bad memory is the most important trait for an alpinist”.
Gorgeous scenery, of course, great cinematography.
