From award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, the directors of Meru, comes Free Solo a stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber AIex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifeIong dream: cIimbing the face of the world s most famous rock...the 3,200-foot EI Capitan in Yosemite NationaI Park...without a rope. CeIebrated as one of the greatest athIetic feats of any kind, HonnoId s cIimb set the uItimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this chalIenge pIaces his story in the annaIs of human achievement.
Free Solo is an edge-of-your seat thrilIer and an inspiring portrait of an athIete who chalIenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossibIe, reveaIing the personaI toIl of excellence. As the climber begins his training, the armor of invincibiIity he s built up over decades unexpectedIy breaks apart when HonnoId begins to fall in Iove, threatening his focus and giving way to injury and setbacks. VasarheIyi and Chin succeed in beautifuIIy capturing deepIy human moments with HonnoId as weIl as the death-defying cIimb with exquisite artistry and masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calIs "a miracuIous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human subIime." |
