Free Solo (2018)

Free Solo is a fascinating journey into the mind of a clearly autistic, obsessive, natural mountain climbing talent who seems to have found a way to nearly completely suppress fear. Otherwise not a single hair on one's head would even think of doing what he does. Free Solo is an impressive registration of a mind-boggling climb without ropes, although the preamble took a bit too long compared to the actual event, reducing the tension of the finale a bit, because I had become slightly numb by the preceding vertigo-inducing footage.
