SCREAM OF STONE Roger, obsessed with climbing the unconquered Cerro Torre, the titular “scream of stone”. He teams with Martin, a despised sport-climber, but Martin attacks the mountain when Roger is off getting supplies. Tragedy follows: Roger’s best friend dies but at the urging of journalist Ivan, Martin says he conquered the peak. A return engagement inevitably follows. www.trashcity.org Viewers will find themselves between a rock and a hard place in Werner Herzog’s latest opus, a high tale of man vs. the elements.
