FREE SOLO (J. CHINN & E.C. VASARHELYI, 2018, CERT 12A)
Stow Film Lounge is absolutely delighted to be working with the Wild Card Brewery to bring you our award-winning pop-up cinema in another exciting venue. Our screenings continue with this quite breathtaking documentary.
A stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free soloist climber Alex Honnold as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock – the 3,200 foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope.
Celebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, Honnolds’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. The film is an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toll of excellence. The result is a triumph of the human spirit that represents what The New York Times calls “a miraculous opportunity for the rest of us to experience the human sublime.”
