North Face

NORTH FACE is a gripping mountaineering adventure film based on the 1936 expedition that sought to be the first to climb the sheer north face of the Eiger - the infamous "murder wall."

According to The Independent (UK): “A mountaineering adventure more tense, more edge-of-the-seat suspenseful, than Touching the Void? Almost incredibly, this German drama, based on a true story, is that film.”

“As you watch Philipp Stölzl’s gripping survival drama, “North Face,” it is impossible not to put yourself in the boots of the mountaineers clinging to a sheer, icy rock face during a blizzard that threatens to send them into oblivion.” (Stephen Holden, New York Times)
