Touching the Void

This is one of the nicest documentaries that I have seen. In fact, this can very well qualify to be one of the awesome'st films that I have seen. Truly weird that this story is a depiction of a real-life incidant.



Joe and Simon are two hot-headed mountaineers who want to win over Siula Grande, an unscaled mountain in Peru. In the process, Joe breaks his leg. Simon faces the difficult choice of a life-time. And miracles happen as Joe survives, battles with his sanity and then descends the slopes.



The tagline of the movie is - The closer you are to death. The more you realize you are alive. Need I say more ? Kevin MacDonald is the director and the real Joe Simpson is the writer. Kudos.
