Solo di cordata
Davide Riva (2015)
A faithful filmic portrait of the very strong solitary climber who, retracing his most famous mountaineering exploits and thanks to precious unpublished repertory materials together with the voice of his closest friends and climbing companions, recounts, with the thoughts and voice of Casarotto himself, the human research hidden behind the need for mountaineering action immersed in the wildest nature. A collection of unknown images and thoughts that shed light on the human complexity and eclecticism of a man who, with his will and technique of ascent, has accomplished extraordinary feats many of which are still unsurpassed and never repeated today.- 2015
