Críticas (3)
Um filme de alpinismo não só sobre a primeira subida de uma montanha extremamente difícil dos Himalaias, mas sobretudo sobre o vínculo de um sonho partilhado entre três alpinistas que regressaram à montanha apesar de uma primeira tentativa devastadoramente mal sucedida e com um mínimo de hipóteses de sucesso devido ao estado da saúde de um deles. Ao mesmo tempo, um filme sobre a perda de entes queridos e a determinação de tornar o sonho da equipa realidade, mesmo que «sobreviver à sua própria morte» sugira claramente «pare já!». Filmado nos lugares mais loucos em qualidade de imagem incrível graças a Jimmy Chin.

A two-round duel with probably the most complex and difficult climbing challenge ever (Holeček and Kreisinger could tell); one of the peaks of Mount Meru Shark’s fin. This documentary is not so impressive because it shows the first successful ascent, but rather because it portrays both attempts of climbers in a way that you have a feeling you are standing right next to them. But even so, it is not the most impressive sequence. The most impressive one is the second third of the documentary, which covers approximately three years between the attempts and which describes the life of the central trio. And a lot happened during these three years, that is for sure. If it had been a fiction, no one would believe screenwriters, because you would think something like that simply cannot happen. What ultimately prevents Meru from being an unforgettable experience is, surprisingly, the final history of mountaineering that rewrites the ascent, which also offers one extremely interesting and controversial dilemma. It's hard to say if they had little material about this ascent or if it seemed similar to the first attempt, but it's portrayed way too quickly much and coldly that it's detrimental to it.

Well yeah, it's a documentary that tells a quite powerful story and interestingly shows where the possibilities of a person lie and what their body can endure. Those testimonies are very intense and are delivered in a way that allows you to really empathize with different events. But still, I can't help it, it just didn't manage to impact me that much.
