Better up there

About This Movie

Better Up There is quite a unique piece, really. It's a compact 45-minute journey following Léo Slemett’s life - not just another ski movie, you know? The film captures the raw essence of his childhood and how he tackles the hurdles in his skiing career. The cinematography of the Chamonix mountains is breathtaking and feels almost alive; you can sense the cold and the danger wrapped in those snow-capped peaks. The pacing is interesting too, blending Léo's personal struggles with the adrenaline of skiing. The performances, especially of Léo, resonate with genuine emotion. There's this palpable atmosphere that makes you feel every slip and triumph he experiences. It's a heartfelt exploration of determination, one that stands apart from typical sports narratives.
