“Werner Herzog’s examination of mountain climber Reinhold Messner, who is highly regarded as the greatest mountain climber ever. Messner scaled two of the world’s most difficult peaks back to back when he reached the tops of Gasherbrum I & II, and is the first person to climb 14 of the world’s highest peaks. He is also regarded for his climbs that he did not use oxygen tanks and he also crossed Antarctica without animal or motorized power in 1989, which unfortunately was a few years after this documentary, but would have made a great addition. Here we get an in-depth study that only Herzog is able to often times capture with raw emotion and ability as he tries to get behind the determination of one of the most interesting characters of all time.”
