content

The film accompanies the five racing drivers Aksel Lund Svindal , Erik Guay , Max Franz , Hannes Reichelt and Juryj Danilatschkin as they prepare for the 2014 Hahnenkamm race on the Streif , the most dangerous downhill run in alpine skiing.

At the same time, the Kitzbühel Ski Association is preparing the route for the descent.

criticism

The Streif finish area at the 2011 Hahnenkamm race

The film service ruled that the film portrays “the route as well as half a dozen of its victorious conquerors”. In spite of the “spectacular […] show values”, the “uncritical film gets tired due to its annoying adulation” and exhausts itself “in the pathetic celebration of fearless male heroism”.

“'Streif - One Hell of a Ride' is also tinkering with the myth of the 'Streif', but it does not transfigure, it explains: that skiing is a constant risk that the drivers expose themselves to forces that they are often unable to cope with. The film gives a lot of space to vulnerability and doubts. And that is quite remarkable when it comes to a documentary about a race where danger is the biggest selling point. "
