The Climb - 2017 - 6/10
AKA - L'Ascension
Nadia likes Samy enough, but does not want a deeper relationship.
He has no job, no prospects, and yet he declares, “What if I climb Mount Everest for you?”
Foolish boasts aside, Samy finds backers and is soon in Katmandu.
Climbing experience? What climbing experience?
Mountain scenery is beautiful, although the narrative stays on Samy’s struggles, in a light manner.
Feel good movie recycling the fish out of water template.
Scoff at the plausibility all you want, this was “inspired” by the true story of Nadir Dendoune.
