Were George Mallory and Andrew Irvine the first men to scale Mount Everest in 1924? That innocent question, challenging recorded mountaineering history, launches a young Japanese photo-journalist on his own philosophical path of discovery in Patrick Imbert<\/strong>\u2019s elegantly animated adaptation of Jiro Taniguchi\u2019s and Baku Yumemakura\u2019s manga masterpiece. Meticulous graphics and pitch-perfect sound design convey both the thrill of the quest and the film\u2019s heightened sense of impending danger at each vertiginous step. The Summit of the Gods<\/em> is ultimately a suspenseful, profound discourse on Man\u2019s unfathomable need to surpass nature and the catharsis inherent in climbing walls of stone and ice.<\/p>\n

Co-writer\/director Patrick Imbert<\/strong> is an accomplished animator with numerous short, TV series and feature film credits to his name, including Pascal Morelli\u2019s Corto Maltese: Secret Court of the Arcanes<\/em> (2002); Antonio Navarro\u2019s The Three Wise Men<\/em> (2003); St\u00e9phane Aubirer\u2019s, Vincent Patar\u2019s & Benjamin Renner\u2019s Oscar-nominated Ernest & Celestine<\/em> (2012); and Christian Desmares\u2019 & Franck Ekinci\u2019s April and the Extraordinary World<\/em> (2015). In 2017, he directed his first feature with Benjamin Renner, The Big Bad Fox<\/em> and Other Tales<\/em>, which garnered numerous awards, including a C\u00e9sar Award for Best Animated Film. The Summit of the Gods<\/strong><\/em> was an Official Selection at this year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/tsofg_vertical_27x40_rgb_pre20210927-4516-azjxr9.jpg” image_size=”large” frame_style=”gray_border”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
