Only three centuries ago, setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. Mountains were places of peril, not beauty, an upper world to be shunned, not sought out. Why do mountains now hold us spellbound, drawing us into their dominion, often at the cost of our lives? From Tibet to Australia, Alaska to Norway armed with drones, Go-Pros and helicopters, director Jennifer Peedom has fashioned an astonishing symphony of mountaineers, ice climbers, free soloists, heliskiers, snowboarders, wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers. Willem Dafoe provides a narration sampled from British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane’s acclaimed memoir Mountains of the Mind, and a classical score from the Australian Chamber Orchestra accompanies this majestic cinematic experience.

Mountain Film Synopsis

An epic cinematic and musical collaboration between SHERPA filmmaker Jennifer Peedom and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, that explores humankind's fascination with high places.

Beautiful cinematographyI give this 5 stars because of the incredible footage. I do agree with other reviews about the sometimes awkward soundtrack, and the Dafoe narration didn’t do much for me either, but I love mountains too much not to appreciate this celebration of them. I could watch films like this every day..Score: 5/5

Beautiful and thought-provokingIncredible visuals and insightful commentary.Score: 5/5

Somniferous as can beYou get more pleasure and insight into mountains from looking at a photograph by Ansel Adams. If it weren't for Dafoe's voice this documentary of sorts wouldn't deserve viewing. By the way, my dad who loves mountains and snow and the thrill of mountaineering feel asleep after quarter of an hour and couldn't even remember the title of the movie when he woke up .).Score: 2/5

Falling ShortThe music was annoying and overwhelmed the image. 22 minutes in I had learned nothing.I was impressed by some of the videography and in particular the free climbers who scale the stone unaided by any rope or hammer..Score: 1/5

YawnBoring.Score: 1/5

BoringA very repetitive hour+ of classical music and panoramas of mountains. Could be enjoyable if that's your thing, but if you're looking for any sort of information, history, or narrative, look elsewhere..Score: 1/5

Also boringAwesome scenes are awesome for a few seconds. The lack of narration begets lack of purpose in the movie, so the point of why they are showing the scenery is lost. Requires long attention span..Score: 2/5

Neat but lameImagery is awesome but the Music is over the top... BAD.... musical vomit. lay off the strings... too much. tone it down..Score: 2/5

Not much of a movieThe photography was breathtaking, but it seemed like a lot of random footage cobbled together without a logical flow or narrative arc that would have made it into a compelling story--it was kind of like leafing through a National Geographic magazine. The music was mainly in a minor key and often discordant. It not only didn't seem to match the images, but it was also incredibly obtrusive, distracting and annoying. I turned the sound off about halfway through because I couldn't take any more of it and the narration didn't add much anyway..Score: 3/5

Amazing FilmIn my opinion this ranks right up there with some of the best films from BBC Earth, National Geographic and the like. Beautiful footage of mountains and rugged landscapes around the world. This is put together with a classical music score by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and narration by actor Willem Dafoe. Lots of aerials with some ground footage of mountain climbers and a mixture of extreme sports adventurers of all types. Many of the climbers shown are well-renowned such as free climber Alex Honnold of “Free Solo” and Jimmy Chin who filmed that award winning documentary. One of Chin’s “Meru” climbing partners, Renan Ozturk, was involved in the making of this film and can also be seen. The visuals are breathtaking and the music complements them. Dafoe’s narration is smooth and subtle so as to support but not interfere with the overall meditative experience. If you like seeing documentaries with sublime natural scenery and/or people taking it to the limit, don’t miss this one!.Score: 5/5

Deutsch
Aufwändiger Dokumentarfilm auf den Spuren der Faszination, die von Bergen ausgeht. Dafür verbindet er bestechend fotografierte Bilder einer erhabenen hochalpinen Bergwelt von Papua-Neuguinea über Alaska bis Hawaii mit einem essayistischen Kommentar über die Magie und Anziehung der eisigen Gipfel. Neben mythologischen Geschichten und Exkursen in Ökologie und Ökonomie des Alpinismus setzt er auch auf Impressionen von tollkühnen Extremkletterern und unterlegt sie mit der stimmigen Verbindung von alter und neuer Kammermusik.

Português
Apenas três séculos atrás, escalar uma montanha seria considerado perto da loucura. A idéia quase não existia que paisagens selvagens pudessem ter qualquer tipo de atração. Os picos eram lugares de perigo e não de beleza. Por que, então, estamos atraídos para as montanhas aos milhões? A MONTANHA nos mostra a força fascinante de lugares altos - e seu poder contínuo para moldar nossas vidas e nossos sonhos.

영화와 음악의 멋진 합작. 명망 있는 다큐멘터리 연출가 제니퍼 피돔과 세계 최고의 체임버 오케스트라 중 하나인 호주 체임버 오케스트라(ACO)가 협업해 만들었다. 22개국을 넘나들며 2,000여 시간 동안 촬영한 장엄한 산악 풍경 위에 ACO의 훌륭한 오케스트라 연주가 정교하게 오버랩된다. 눈 덮인 봉우리를 오르는 등반 행위를 비롯해 수직과 수평의 산악 세계에서 열리는 모든 종류의 산악 활동은 매혹적인 음향 아래 하나의 춤이 되고, 초대형 뮤지컬이 된다. 배우 월럼 다포가 내레이션을 맡았다.

ελληνικά
Πριν από τρεις αιώνες, η αναρρίχηση ενός βουνού θεωρείτο παράνοια. Η σκέψη ότι τα άγρια τοπία του πλανήτη μας θα μπορούσαν να έχουν οποιοδήποτε είδος έλξης, δεν υπήρχε καν. Οι βουνοκορφές ήταν μέρη επικίνδυνα, όχι όμορφα. Γιατί, τότε, η έλξη που νιώθουμε τώρα για τα βουνά είναι τόσο έντονη; Το «Mountain» μας παρουσιάζει τη σαγηνευτική δύναμη των βουνών και τη συνεχή επιρροή που έχουν στη διαμόρφωση της ζωής και των ονείρων μας.

Гори – неприступне та підступне творіння природи. Споконвіку їх схили ваблять до себе людство. Цей поєдинок триває століттями, але що в ньому заслуговує більшого захоплення: самі гори або зухвалість сміливців, які прагнуть піднятися «вище неба»? Цей фільм – симфонія величних гірських вершин та запаморочливі подвиги відважних романтиків, які прагнуть їх підкорити. Це результат співпраці австралійської продюсерки Дженніфер Підом із Австралійським камерним оркестром (одним із найбільших у світі).

Una deslumbrante exploración de nuestra obsesión por las montañas. Tan solo hace tres siglos escalar una montaña habría sido considerado casi un acto lunático, apenas existía la idea de que los paisajes salvajes pudiesen ejercer algún tipo de atracción. Las cimas eran lugares peligrosos, no bellos. 'Mountain' nos muestra el poder de fascinación que generan las alturas y su constante capacidad para moldear nuestras vidas y nuestros sueño.

Snímek je oslňující analýzou naší posedlosti horami. Ještě před 300 lety byly snahy zdolat horské vrcholy považovány za něco velmi blízkého šílenství. Nikdo tehdy nepředpokládal, že by divoká a opuštěná horská krajina mohla někoho zajímat. Vrcholy hor byly považovány za místa, kde sídlí nebezpečí, nikdo je nevnímal jako místa plná krásy. Proč jsou nyní horami přitahovány miliony lidí?

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
