The Alpinist (2021)
10/10
The single most beautiful thing in this film, isn't the mountains.

I admit to being a bovine witted, flea bitten and slightly closed minded human even on my best days, though I strive for better. This film, this blessed piece of cinematic, bliss-filled and agonizing story arc stopped my dead in my lofty tracks.

Not to sound too woke, or woke at all - it changed my mind, perhaps life.

It reminded me of what's important, what's holding us all together between snot and rigging tape. Marc wasn't born for the same world I live in and the film makers had to good sense to let this rare bird back into the infinite wilderness that is his mind.

Marc LeClerc isn't dead - he just rejoined the mountain he hailed from. He's alive in me - yep, I literally just said that. My life today, is better than it was yesterday - because I was lucky enough to see Marc express is boundless joy and love, for joy and love.

Endless thanks.

Me.
