Who’s in it
Brendan Mackey, Nicholas Aaron, Richard Hawking, Simon Yates, Joe Simpson
What it’s about
Simpson and Yates return to the west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes, where in 1985, they were almost killed in a climbing accident. The film intercuts interview footage of the real adventurers with scenes of actors recreating their harrowing journey to save themselves.
Worth watching?
(star)(star)(star): “So well cast and captured is ‘Touching the Void’ that it suspends disbelief, making us feel as if we’re actually watching Simpson’s own icy version of Dante’s ‘Inferno’ “
