Known as one of the most difficult climbs in the Alps, this legendary and tragic ascension was to be tracked by several journalists including Toni's girlfriend, who worked for a German publication. Goebbels was quick to transform the two mountaineers into heroes for the greater glory of the Third Reich, although neither of them were members of the national socialist party. ...North Face ( Nordwand ) ( Northface )

4.0 out of 5 stars The North Face of the Eiger - True story set in 1936, August 28, 2009
This review is from: North Face ( Nordwand ) ( Northface ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)
North Face was a great film - in German with subtitles. Its a true story, though i am sure poetical license was taken in some areas. Great climbing shots set in 1936 when two men on a shoe-string set out to do what no one had done before; as a warm up for the Olympics and Arryan supremacy under the Nazi regime; with the eager Austrian eyes watching and following.

There are some moving moments with the reporter from Berlin who grew u with the two men and is attached to one of them. What happens on the mountains and all the other great bits which i will not share so as not to spoil it!

Good scenery, great filming, story line is great and all-in-all the film was well worth watching.

This review is from: North Face [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Saw this film in an art house and liked it so much I bought dvd. Captures the atmosphere of the era just before the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. Imposed on this is a gripping mountaineering story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The tradgedy of the story seems preiscent considering the massive tradgedy that is about to unfold upon Europe.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Hallelujah", January 14, 2012

This review is from: North Face [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
One of the better foreign films and one of the better films I've seen recently, period. How historically accurate it is I don't know, but I really felt emotionally engaged with all the characters and the climbers and their challenge. I probably could have watched it without the English subtitles and still enjoyed it the acting and story were so good. I would put this up there with Troll Hunter, Run Lola Run, and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as one of the better contemporary foreign language films I've seen.
