NORTHFACE

Directed by Philipp Stölzl

Adventure Drama (126 min.) – Germany; in German, French and Italian with English Subtitles

Based on a 1936 attempt by two Germans and two Austrians to be the first to scale the near-vertical Eiger North Face, the most dangerous, as yet unconquered rock face in the Alps, this grippingly staged mountain movie boasts plenty of white knuckle thrills. Pals and passionate climbers Toni Kurz (Benno Fürmann, Joyeux Noel) and Andi Hinterstoisser (Florian Lukas, Good Bye Lenin!) have always dreamed of conquering the challenging climb. Being the first to scale the North Face would mean not only a longed-for boost in their social standing, but also Olympic gold.
