The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest**
US/GB 2010. Altitude Films. 94m.
The history of George Mallory's ill-fated attempt to climb the North face of Mount Everest, and two American climbers' subsequent attempts to emulate that feat in the present day.
Poignant, consistently interesting drama-documentary using the late Natasha Richardson as one of the voiceovers (before her own tragic death in mountainous conditions). Another film about Everest may seem old hat nowadays, but the region itself is never less than visually stunning.
d: Anthony Geffen
Narrator: Liam Neeson
Additional voices of: Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Dancy, Natasha Richardson, Alan Rickman
ph: Chris Openshaw, Ken Sauls
