action

Rob Hall is the managing director of Adventure Consultants , which has been offering commercial summit climbs on Mount Everest since 1992. After landing at Kathmandu airport and transfer to the accommodation, expedition leader Hall meets with his two mountain guides and the eight participants of the expedition, including the wealthy Texan Beck Weathers , the postman Doug Hansen, the Japanese climber Yasuko Namba , who is the last of her seven Wants to climb Summits , as well as the American journalist Jon Krakauer , who writes an article for the nature sports magazine Outside . The group flies together with a transport helicopter to Lukla ( 2846  m ) and hikes over the Mount Everest Trek to Everest Base Camp ( 5380  m ), where they meet the head of the base camp Helen Wilton, the doctor Dr. Meet Caroline Mackenzie and the six Sherpas. Rob tries unsuccessfully to coordinate the 20 expeditions that are ready for the ascent in the base camp in order to avoid traffic jams in the Khumbu Glacier and above High Camp IV on the south saddle. Only Scott Fischer, the head of the rival company Mountain Madness , can convince him of a collaboration.

Rob's group leaves Camp IV ( 7,900  m altitude) before sunrise with the intention of starting the descent by 2 p.m. at the latest, the last safe turning point in order to be back in Camp IV before sunset. The ascent is delayed several times because there are no safety ropes on the upper climbing section of the southeast ridge and on the Hillary Step . Beck has to interrupt his ascent due to eye problems on the so-called "balcony" ( 8500  m ). Rob instructs Beck to return alone if his blindness does not improve after half an hour.

Rob reaches the summit in good time together with other mountaineers, including Yasuko, who jubilantly sticks a Japanese flag into the snow. Rob meets the exhausted Doug while descending above Hillary Step (at an altitude of 8760  m ) and instructs him to descend. Doug insists on moving on as this is his last chance to reach the top. Rob reluctantly agrees and they both reach the summit two hours later, long after the safe turnaround time. At the summit, Scott is exhausted and increasingly suffering from high altitude pulmonary edema . While Rob helps his client Doug descend, a blizzard hits the summit region of Everest. As Doug's oxygen supplies run low, he begins to suffer from hypoxia . Rob asks Helen over the radio to have the porters bring spare bottles to the summit, as none are left on the climbing route. Doug, who is briefly left alone by Rob, unhooks himself from the safety rope and falls.

Scott's condition worsens, so he instructs the climbers accompanying him to continue the descent without him. Because of his frozen limbs he cannot climb the southern summit and freezes to death. The returning climbers meet Beck, whose view is still impaired. You cannot find the way back to Camp IV on the south saddle because of the severe storm. So they leave the severely impaired Yasuko and Beck behind to locate the camp and get help.

Mountain guide Andy "Harold" Harris reaches Rob with an oxygen bottle, but the cap is frozen. Both bivouac together on the mountain. While Rob sleeps, Andy begins to hallucinate. As a result of a cold idiocy, he takes off his jacket and slides down the mountainside to his death.

The climbers arriving at the camp report that Beck and Yasuko have been left behind, but the poor visibility in the upcoming snowstorm prevents their rescue. Helen calls Beck's wife Peach about the precarious situation. She is also in contact with Rob's pregnant wife Jan, even arranges radio contact between the two, in which Jan tries to motivate Rob to persevere. When the rescue operation of some mountaineers has to be ended under the given conditions, Jan and Rob only have to say goodbye to each other by radio. He once again expresses the wish that Jan names the unborn daughter Sarah.

Surprisingly, Beck wakes up at dawn, sees Yasuko's frozen corpse next to him and stumbles back to camp despite massive frostbite on his limbs. Peach contacts the US embassy and organizes an air rescue . The Nepalese army pilot Lt. Col. Madan Khatri Chhetri successfully flies the dangerous helicopter rescue mission. Beck returns to his family with severe frost damage and bandaged. Rob and all the other bodies remain on the mountain. The credits include original photos of the victims before the ascent and a current picture of Rob and Jan's adult daughter Sarah Arnold-Hall.

production

Project planning

Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner produced the feature film on behalf of the film production company Working Title Films . In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Universal Pictures made some investments and acquired the film rights to Beck Weathers' story "Left for Dead" and the transcription of radio communications between Rob Hall and Jan Arnold at base camp. The studio commissioned a script and carried out extensive background research. In 2003, the film director and alpinist David Breashears , who was involved in the rescue work on the mountain in May 1996, was hired as co-producer and consultant. During his summit ascent of Everest in 2004, he already shot a few shots, and the British theater and film director Stephen Daldry was selected to direct the shooting, but the project was stopped in the same year. In 2009, producer Tim Bevan hired screenwriter William Nicholson to create a new script that asked, “Let's do it through Adventure Consultants. Let's do it about a guy who was up there and survived when he shouldn't and a guy who was absolutely supposed to survive and didn't. "

In 2011, the two producers engaged the Spanish-Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur to shoot. The screenplay for the disaster film was written by screenwriters Simon Beaufoy and Mark Medoff , with some early changes made by Justin Isbell and William Nicholson. Salvatore Totino was hired as cameraman . Universal Pictures is distributing the film in the United States.

In September 2013, Emmett / Furla / Oasis Films were the first co-financiers of the film, but they left the project in late October. Only after the film production began on November 6, 2013, the US film production companies Cross Creek Pictures and Walden Media went into production on November 12, 2013 and took over the financing of the film in the amount of 65 million US dollars.

On December 11, 2013, the specialist magazine The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the South Tyrolean regional film subsidy had contributed another million US dollars to the financing. The shooting started on January 13, 2014 in the Ötztal Alps in Italy and then continued in Nepal and Iceland .

On January 30, 2014, Universal scheduled the film release on February 27, 2015, but on March 21, 2014 it was postponed to September 18, 2015.

On February 4, 2014, while filming was already in progress, British actor Clive Standen was hired . Other actors followed on February 7, 2014, including Martin Henderson , Emily Watson , Thomas M. Wright and Michael Kelly . English actress Emily Watson played a maternal base camp character who worked closely with Rob Hall, and Michael Kelly played author Jon Krakauer , who wrote the book To Icy Heights after the disaster . On February 17th, actor Micah Hauptman joined the ensemble in the role of film director and mountaineer David Breashears , who shot the 1996 documentary Everest - Summit Without Mercy for IMAX on Everest.

Nepal

On January 12, 2014, the 44-strong film team reached the Nepalese capital Kathmandu . The filming permit was granted for the period from January 9th to 23rd. The delayed filming began on the following day January 13, 2014. On January 14, Brolin and Hawkes turned some settings at the airport terminal of Kathmandu airport (Tribhuvan International Airport) and one day later on the Lukla airport . From there we went over the pedestrian suspension bridge shown in the film on the Mount Everest Trek to Namche Bazar , the administrative center of the Khumbu region. The subsequently filmed Tengboche Buddhist monastery is the most important cultural and religious center of the Khumbu. Afterwards, the film team and the equipment were flown to the memorial stones for the deceased Sherpas and mountaineers and to the Everest base camp .

Schnalstal, South Tyrol, Italy

After completing the shooting in Nepal, the shooting team flew to the Italian Schnalstal together with eleven Sherpas . From January 28, 2014, the nearby glacier area served as the backdrop for Everest Camp III for five weeks. On the first day of shooting, the outside temperature was -22 degrees Celsius, and according to actor Josh Brolin, it stayed cold and extremely snowy for the following weeks. The English actor Clive Standen described the filming in cold outside temperatures as "challenging but funny (tough but fun)".

Cinecittà Studios, Rome, Italy

Filming then continued in the Cinecittà film studio complex in Rome , where the base camp was being rebuilt. Extensive props from 1996 were gathered for equipping the base camp , including old pots, pans, climbing gear, tents, cloakroom and costumes, ski boots from Koflach, ice tools , oxygen bottles and masks, and crampons . On February 23, 2014, Gyllenhaal was seen filming in Rome, and Brolin was also spotted with his assistant Kathryn Boyd.

Pinewood Studios, England

In early March, filming continued at Pinewood Studios, England, south of London. The Khumbu Glacier , High Camp 4 on the South Col, the Hillary Step and the summit were reproduced in front of a green screen in the 007 Stage . According to the cameraman Torino, the task was “very challenging because the sun had to be recreated, which is incredibly biting and crisp on Everest.” Daylight lamps from SoftSun with an output of 100,000 watts each were used 200 kg had to be moved with cranes. The opening scene at Christchurch International Airport was filmed in a disused industrial complex in Surrey .

Everest

From March 24, 2014, filming took place again in the base camp on the Nepalese side of Mount Everest. Led by Kent Harvey, a team of experienced filmmakers was tasked with shooting background footage from base camp to summit for post-production . The producer Bevan absolutely wanted to "have film material from Nepal to anchor the film in reality and to make it more exciting and interesting."

On April 18, 2014, while the second film team was filming some outstanding scenes at Camp II on Everest, an avalanche went off and killed 16 Sherpas who were bringing equipment and food up the mountain for climbers in preparation for the upcoming summer season. The online magazine Deadline.com reported that the film team was away from the avalanche and was not hit by it. Filming at Pinewood Studios in England was nearing its end by then, but the second team that was filming at Everest base camp had to stop its work for a while.

Post production

The post-production was from Company 3 conducted in London, the visual effects were purchased from Evolution FX , Framestore , Important Looking Pirates , Leonardo Cruciano Workshop , One Of Us and Union visual effects produced. Since the filming in Nepal could not be completed, the visual effects team had to fall back on Breashears' footage from 2004 and the IMAX footage from 1996 for the backgrounds.

Stereo D in Burbank was responsible for the 3D conversion .

Audio design

The audio design comes from Sound 24 under the direction of sound designer Glenn Freemantle . The challenge for the sound designers Nie Adiri and Ian Tapp was to create a soundscape that on the one hand suggests to the audience that it is in one of the stormiest and most hostile areas in the world, and that at the same time does not swallow the actors' dialogues. Regarding the scenes in the Blizzard, Freemantle said, “There isn't a lot of music in much of this section of the movie, which makes it feel like you're really there. And all of a sudden it makes you feel afraid for her and her struggle for survival. ”Since wind machines were used for many scenes during the filming and the locations on the mountain were unsuitable for the sound recording, most of the dialogues had to use the Automatic Dialogue Recording method from be repeated after the actors.

For playback of surround sound that were multi-channel sound systems Datasat , Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS), Dolby Digital , Dolby Atmos and Auro 11.1 uses. The 16-track soundtrack was released on September 18, 2015 by the music label Varese Sarabande .

In the scene when the mountaineers drive past a busy bazaar on a bus after their arrival in Kathmandu, the song Yeh ladka hai Allah from the successful Hindi film In Good Days As In Bad Days (2001) is playing. The song All I Wanna Do ( released in August 1994) by the American rock singer Sheryl Crow and the song Weather with You (February 1992) by the rock band Crowded House can be heard in the base camp.

Reviews

Susan Vahabzadeh writes in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the director is telling his story “straight down, concentrating on his spectacular images, which sometimes actually make you shiver a little”. On the other hand, she criticizes that Kormákur “out of sheer awe” of the “real catastrophe” only “rummages through” the facts and shies away from assigning blame, and ends with the rhetorical question: “Is this cinema?”. The European correspondent Dirk Schümer also noticed an “unexpected laconicity” in the daily newspaper Die Welt : “Nobody here judges the madmen who wreak havoc in the ice of their own free will. And nobody glorifies them. "

Beatrice Behn criticizes on the portal film-zeit.de that the “classic disaster film” through the necessary reduction of the characters “leaves an inescapable feeling of anglocentrism”, since it caught the Taiwanese, Indian and Japanese expeditions that were simultaneously caught in a storm on the mountain were, hide. In spite of his fatal wrong decisions, the mountain guide Rob Hall is "staged as a kind of tragic hero" and the events are presented "rather as a weather-related accident", which is why the film is "an ambivalent 'film pleasure'".

Aliki Nassoufis speculates on digitalfernsehen.de that the film, because of “its optics and the successful mix of adventure and drama”, also grabs those who “otherwise have little to do with mountaineering”. On orf.at, Sophia Felbermair describes the production as a “men's adventure film with a clichéd role model”, in which it is not easy to “find your way among all the bearded, hooded, icy and snowy protagonists”. Peter Zander also criticizes in the Hamburger Abendblatt that the actors "as soon as they go into the massif, can hardly be distinguished in their anoraks."

Verena Lueken complains in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that the film “gives away everything that is in the story: the drama on the mountain like the drama at home, the landscape, the conflicts. The problem of the mass movement up the mountain. The profiteering. The ecological catastrophe that this means. ”She justifies her criticism with the fact that the“ figure drawing ”is inadequate and the“ motive situation ”of the actors is not sufficiently clarified. Jan Schulz-Ojala also criticizes the “extremely sketchy drawing of the acting figures” in the Tagesspiegel .

The Swiss film critic Reto Baer complains on the website of the Swiss radio and television that a lot of time goes by before the "dramatic situations on the mountain" in which there is "a lot of talk" "without really getting to know the different mountaineers" because the Story “just too many characters”. Baer concludes with the statement: "If you have seen a mountain film , you have seen all of them: some actors scramble around some cliffs in the artificial snow."

Features editor Elmar Krekeler criticizes in the national daily newspaper Die Welt that “everything is in this material. You just have to have an attitude. Apparently it was too strenuous for Kormákur. He tells the story with agonizing diligence. "

The editor-in-chief Artur Jung from the trade magazine Cinema draws the conclusion: "Realistic reconstruction of a tragedy which, despite technical perfection, lacks the necessary emotionality."

controversy

Jon Krakauer described the feature film to the national daily Los Angeles Times as "total nonsense" (" It's total bull "). In the interview, the author criticized the fact that neither the director nor the actor who played him, Michael Kelly, had contacted him. In addition, there would never have been a dialogue between his character and Anatoly Bukrejew in the tent on the south saddle after the descent, during which he refused to help with the rescue work with reference to snow blindness . Krakauer saw the film as the director's personal affront to himself. Director Kormákur responded to the criticism with the words: "The scriptwriters and I tried to look at events from a fair point of view, without taking any side."

According to Kormákur, the feature film is largely based on the tape recordings of the radio traffic between the base camp and the mountaineers as well as Beck Weathers' report "Left For Dead", in which the pathologist describes his tragic experiences, which led to the loss of both his hands and his nose. The book by Jon Krakauer, whose film rights the author sold to Sony Pictures shortly after its publication in 1997 , was not taken into account by Kormákur, also because the director was not interested in telling "a story about an author on the mountain".

Compared to the Outside Magazine said the director, the film IN QUESTION "from the thin line between the mountain guides, leading up to the people the mountain, and those who pay for it." He "will not tell you how to climb a mountain - and what right and wrong ”because he is not a“ moral preacher ”:“ I wanted to tell the story to the audience and let them judge. ”

Awards

From the German Film and Media Review was Everest with the predicate particularly valuable provided. The reasoning states: "The struggle for survival with the forces of nature never slips into kitsch or pathos, because the film focuses on the hardships and strains of climbing Everest."
