Filmmaker Patrick Imbert's animated feature 'The Summit of the Gods' explores the allure of the majestic and dangerous Mt. Everest.
There are a number of times during “The Summit of the Gods” that you can’t help but wonder “Why?” Why are these mountaineers driven to attempt increasingly dangerous challenges to reach summits in altitudes their bodies aren’t meant to survive in?
This set-up allows the gorgeously animated “Summit of the Gods” to approach Habu’s passion for mountain climbing in a more accessible way. Habu is a singularly focused mountaineer, and his drive has not only isolated him but has also brought brushes with adversity and tragedy. Devotion to such a deadly sport is not always relatable, and in that sense, he can be read as someone cut from a similar cloth as Capt. Ahab.
