From the director’s statement regarding the film: “Last year I lost one of my closest friends. Kuriki Nobukazu, who was a well-known mountain climber, died during his 8th attempt to climb Mount Everest. My first encounter with Mr. Kuriki was the premiere of Noise, the first feature film I directed. He praised my first feature film, and since then we often met and talked. We decided to make a documentary film of Mr. Kuriki attempting to climb Everest.
For the filming I went to Everest with my Dp (Director of Photography) Kishi Kentaro, but on May 21st, 2018, Kuriki Nobukazu died during his descent after deciding to abandon his attempt to continue climbing due to illness. I also came down with altitude sickness and had to be taken to the hospital via an air ambulance.
I’m still not sure if I can accept my friend’s death by making this film,...
