the physical sublime in "Into the Mind"

Dramatic, almost impossible filming of extreme skiing in steep mountains...

more aptly named "Into the Emotions"...
by and for those for whom "gnarly and "awesome" are adequate articulations of peak experiences among peaks -- once described as "sublime", pictureque.
the  desire, the need for intense experience -- "extreme" -- not contemplation of the sublime, but the need now to experience it at the edge of death, thrill, danger...

Unconvincingly collaged around a loosely-construed idea of 13-stage initiation a la Tibet.

Don't expect to need use your mind in "Into the Mind". But see incredible risk-taking...
