Solo (1972)
Great Film
This film was shown to us by our 7th grade teacher in 1978. I had already been climbing for several years and was immediately drawn to the fantastic climbing footage, the attention to the environment and the simple plot line that makes it an extremely interesting movie to non-climbers as well. The film was later shown in our College Film Class as an example of a simple story line with very captivating cinematography.
It clearly shows some highly technical climbing, some basic moves in awesome terrain, and a huge range of landscape footage and beautiful alpine views. It also clearly shows how awesome hiking and climbing can be when done for the fun of the outdoors.
The simple plot line effectively draws in outside viewers, while also telling a deeper message of environmentalism and compassion. And it does it in a very short film with good music and exciting footage.
Great movie - I strongly recommend it.
