This movie shows the Japanese expedition to allow Yûichirô Miura to.... well, the title tells you.
I approached this movie without much sympathy for its goal, which struck me -- and still does -- as the actions of a very rich adolescent with too much time on his hands and a desire to be famous for something, anything, like a 1970s Mr. Beast or Kardashian. Six men died on this frolic, but I suppose that since five of them were Sherpas, and Miura says he felt like a samurai after not falling into a crevasse and dying, it was totally worth it.
The photography by six camera men under the supervision of Mitsuji Kanau is stunning. Douglas Rain narrates from Miura's diary.
