The Summit of the Gods proves that the new subgenre of mountaineering movies can successfully and beautifully extend to the world of animation. The rapidly growing genre of climbing movies may just see its first major anime entry in The Summit of the Gods, a French-language adaptation of Jiro Taniguchi and Baku Yumemakura’s manga series of the same name. Directed by Patrick Imbert, it interweaves a contemporary storyline with the historic climb of George Mallory, who died in 1924 while attempting to summit Mount Everest. Fast forward to the 1990s, where Makoto Fukamachi (voiced by Damien Boisseau), a photojournalist, searches for a renowned but elusive climber named Habu Joji (Eric Herson-Macarel). In their first encounter, Joji claims to have recovered Mallory’s long-lost Vest Pocket camera. It’s an almost priceless find, and could hold the key to a decades-long mystery: did Mallory actually make it to the top? In pursuit of the camera, Fukamachi tracks down Joji in the foothills of Mt. Everest, where he’s preparing for a dangerous solo winter ascent of the face that claimed a rival’s life years prior. The first half of the film mostly traces Joji’s career, from his role in a tragedy that kills a […]
