Review of Meru (2015) by Keith B — 04 Jun 2017
The climbing scenes are strong, but between can be a bit flat - and it doesn't feel a deliberate ploy to help us get inside their heads and know how it is to only feel truly alive when climbing. Nor do we always understand their decisions - at first they're the expert risk calculators, never doing anything stupid, only brave.
Later, questionable choices are made for apparently irrational, emotional reasons, without convincing us this is ok. Still a very good film though, and one of the better mountaineering ones.
