Review
Brad Pitt adopts a dodgy accent to portray up-himself Austrian Heinrich Harrer. Accompanied by David Thewlis, the self-obsessed climber makes an attempt on the Himalayas, gets captured and incarcerated in a British POW camp, escapes, then sets off on an odyssey through sweeping plains and air-brushed sunsets, finally ending up in Tibet. Befriended by a young Dalai Lama, Harrer is eventually able to wallow in the smug self-satisfaction of a man who's "found himself". It all looks very pretty, but sadly young Brad just can't cut the mustard.
