Testing Yourself X 10For anyone who is fascinated by the psychology of extreme athletes, this is a must see. Quite fascinating to witness the narrow focus it takes to achieve a goal. The driving force behind this climb comes from deep within the climber. It saps away so much energy it creates unbalanced relationships. You see Immense courage, remarkable skill (math/physics style), and his personal resolve. A thrilling movie, but one filled with shots at great heights. The photography is remarkable. The danger of climbing El Capitan is real, and the level of execution is beyond X..Score: 4/5

Ο Άλεξ Χόνολντ γίνεται ο πρώτος αναρριχητής που κατακτά την κορυφή του βράχου EL Capitan με ύψος 915 μέτρα, χωρίς ιμάντες, σχοινιά ή κάποιο εξοπλισμό ασφαλείας. Το "Free Solo" δεν καταγράφει απλά την συγκλονιστική διαδρομή προς τα πάνω αλλά επιχειρεί να καταλάβει τι ώθησε τον Χόνολντ να κάνει κάτι τόσο παράτολμο και επικίνδυνο.

Deutsch
Free-Solo-Kletterer Alex Honnold bereitet sich im Sommer 2017 auf die Erfüllung seines Lebenstraums vor. Er will den bekanntesten Felsen der Welt erklimmen, den 975 Meter hohen und fast senkrechten El Capitan im Yosemite-Nationalpark in Kalifornien. Free Solo bedeutet: im Alleingang, ohne Seil und ohne Sicherung.

Český
FREE SOLO je směsicí napínavého thrilleru a inspirativního životního příběhu sportovce, který si klade fyzicky i psychicky náročné cíle a snaží se dosáhnout hranice nemožného. V období začátku příprav na obtížný výstup se jeho aura nepřemožitelnosti, kterou si po desetiletí zdařile budoval, nečekaně rozpadá.

Español
Documental que narra la hazaña de Alex Honnold al escalar sin ningún tipo de ayuda la formación rocosa vertical "El Capitán", ubicada dentro del Parque Nacional Yosemite (Mariposa County, Estados Unidos), de unos 900 metros de altura. Fue el primer escalador en lograrlo.

Português
Aos 30 anos de idade, Alex Honnold já era um dos mais renomados alpinistas de sua geração. Porém, independente de todas as suas conquistas, ele permaneceu obcecado com um desafio que nenhum outro alpinista havia conseguido realizar: escalar sem equipamento de segurança a rocha El Capitan, no Parque Nacional de Yosemite, na Califórnia. Os diretores E. Chai Vasarhelyi e Jimmy Chin acompanham Honnold por dois anos enquanto ele testa os limites de sua ambição.

български език
Филмът е един изумителен, съкровен и решителен портрет на соло катерача Алекс Хонълд, който се готви да осъществи дългогодишната си мечта – да изкачи най-прочутата скала в света, Ел Капитан, в националния парк „Йосемити“, висока 975 метра... без въже.

עִבְרִית
אלכס הונולד הוא מטפס סולו חופשי שמתכנן לטפס על "אל קפיטן" שביוסמיטי פארק ללא חבל.

Polski
Zapierająca dech w piersiach przyroda i przerażający plan - wspinaczka na wysokość 2300 m po niemal pionowej skale, i to bez zabezpieczenia. Alex Honnold postanowił dokonać niemożliwego i spełnić życiowe marzenie - wspiąć się na majestatyczny El Capitan w parku narodowym Yosemite. Cel uda się osiągnąć, ale tylko wtedy, gdy wszystko pójdzie zgodnie z planem, a jak wiadomo, przy tego rodzaju wspinaczce możliwa jest nieskończona liczba scenariuszy, wystarczy obluzowany kamień, silniejszy powiew wiatru. "Free Solo" zachwyca i zdumiewa widokami, ale ukazuje też motywacje ekstremalnego wspinacza. Często niezrozumiałe dla postronnych, którzy nie wiedzą, po co ryzykować życie dla czegoś tak błahego jak sport wyczynowy, uprawiany w dużej mierze tylko dla samego siebie i ciągłego przekraczania własnych granic. Alex niczego nie tłumaczy, ale po prostu wspina się dalej, wyznaczając limity ludzkiej wytrzymałości.

Free Solo est un portrait époustouflant, intime et sans faille du grimpeur soliste libre Alex Honnold, alors qu'il se prépare pour réaliser son rêve de toujours : escalader la face du rocher le plus célèbre du monde... El Capitan haute de plus de 900 mètres dans le parc national de Yosemite... sans corde. Célébrée comme l'un des plus grands exploits sportifs toutes catégories confondues, l'ascension d'Honnold a établi la norme ultime : la perfection ou la mort. Réussissant ce défi, Honnold inscrit son histoire dans les annales de l'accomplissement humain. Free Solo est à la fois un thriller au bord de votre siège et un portrait inspirant d'un athlète qui a dépassé notre compréhension actuelle du potentiel physique et mental humain. Le résultat est une démonstration de l'esprit humain à son apogée.

Alex Honnold si v živote nekladie malé ciele. Špičkový americký športovec udivuje svet odvážnymi balansovaním na hrane života a smrti, keď zdoláva zložité strmé vrcholy sám a bez akéhokoľvek istenia. Yosemitský gigant El Capitan ale predstavuje výzvu, pred ktorou aj chladnokrvný a zdanlivo emócií zbavený lezec zapochybuje.

Free Solo este un thriller palpitant și povestea impresionantă a unui atlet care-și testează atât limitele fizice dar și convingerile în încercarea de a triumfa asupra imposibilului, dezvăluind sacrificiile personale necesare în atingerea excelenței. Pe parcursul antrenamentelor, armura invincibilității construită de-a lungul deceniilor se sparge brusc atunci când Honnold începe să se îndrăgostească, punându-i în pericol concentrarea și lăsând loc leziunilor și trenărilor.

Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I LoveDocumentary2010

YOUSSOU N'DOUR: I BRING WHAT I LOVE is a gorgeously photographed, music infused cinematic portrait of world famous Senegalese pop sensation Youssou N'Dour. Best known in the West for his collaborations with Bono and Peter Gabriel, N'Dour is one of the most beloved musicians in pop music and his legendary career has spanned decades.In 2004, responding to negative perceptions about his Muslim faith, N'Dour recorded EGYPT, a deeply spiritual album dedicated to a more tolerant view of Islam. In a critical and career-defining moment, the album was awarded the 2004 Grammy® for BEST WORLD MUSIC ALBUM. While Western audiences embraced N'Dour's brave musical message, it encountered a serious religious backlash in his native country of Senegal where N'Dour is considered a national hero. Local critics and the media accused him of insulting Islam, arguing that pop and religious music should not mix.Combining unprecedented images of Senegal's most sacred Muslim rituals, vibrant concert performances filmed around the world, and intimate access to N'Dour and his family, I BRING WHAT I LOVE chronicles the difficult path this remarkable artist must take. It is a stirring journey of faith, redemption, and the power of music to overcome intolerance.

Meru summary, synopsis, reviews
MeruDocumentary2015

Rising 21,000 feet above the sacred Ganges River, the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru is the ultimate test in the high-stakes world of big-wall climbing. The "anti-Everest," Meru has long defeated the world’s best climbers, earning it the reputation as the most complicated and dangerous peak in the Himalayas. When alpinists Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk embark on an expedition to tackle the Shark’s Fin for the first time, they confront nature’s harshest elements and their own personal limitations in an attempt to achieve the impossible. A breathtaking real-life tale of survival, friendship and redemption featuring best-selling author Jon Krakauer (INTO THIN AIR) and a score by Oscar-nominated composer J. Ralph (CHASING ICE), MERU is “a meditation on life, death and everything in between.” (NEWSWEEK)
