from the Madding Crowd. Without telling anyone and even forgetting the boxcutter Swiss home. Into the wild . In search of fulfillment which only knows how to give the desert. So he left one day in 2003 by Aaron Ralston Utah, first by car, by bike, and then finally walking, backpacking. In the desert you can even make friends with a couple of girls, if you have enough chutzpah to boast of credentials as a guide, you can get a bath in an underground lake and continue your journey alone. Unless you overdo it. Aaron gets stuck in the crevice of a canyon for 127 hours, his arm caught in the grip of a stone, then the gangrene and the dramatic decision to amputate the limb to save himself.
According to a well-established tradition of his filmography, Boyle style alternates between the mega-millionaire The , a low budget film like this, which still manages to work miracles. Meanwhile, because the syntax is so rich cinematic touch to an endless swirl of expression that never goes in search of virtuosity for its own sake: the sound of a split screen, mounted in acceleration, impressive dolly movements, alternating between shooting on film and in video (Although dependent to the story: the protagonist, with a large dose of humor, while it takes is a chronicle of what he believes will be his last hours of life). And then, or perhaps especially, for his direction as energetic and muscle can not keep the viewer glued to the chair for an hour and a half, with a film shot in extreme units of time and place - are on the side of Prisoners of ' ocean, Hell in the Pacific and Cast away - and with virtually a single actor (James Franco, who staged a dazzling every nuance of expression as possible, with some also on the make-up artists). While trapped in the gorge of the canyon, Aaron evokes memories, has some hallucination, comes to terms with the milliliters of water that remain, intones a mantra in order to remain lucid and calm, devises solutions, shows an enviable sense of humor. A hymn to life, crowned by the images of closure, with the real Aaron continues to make the walker. But now where does that always leaves.
