mountain

Mountain is a visual exploration of gorgeous landscapes with the pervasive presence of people. As such, it provides more a visceral experience than any kind of analytical or narrative work, beyond the musings provided in excerpts of British mountaineer Robert Macfarlane’s Mountains of the Mind. Mountain will appeal primarily to those who love adventure and aren’t looking for a character-driven story—there is none. In a most apt observation, Dafoe says, The mountains we climb are not made only of rock and ice, but also dreams and desire. I can’t help but wonder what some of these men and women pursue, but these locations offer a gorgeous place to do it.
