The director Werner Herzog is not everyone's cup of tea. This 1991 film has English subtitles and originated in a suggestion from Messner. The movie has elements drawn from the history of the supposed first conquest of the summit of Cerro Torre in 1959, by the Italian climber Cesare Maestri and his partner, the Austrian Toni Egger, who died during the descent.
The spectacular trailer, with superb climbing footage is accessed by the link below.
