Downhill Racer

“This is a movie I absolutely adore, Downhill Racer. Michael Ritchie, 1969. This one I've seen it many times. It's the best movie—I mean, if you love skiing watch it, or if you love sports, if you love Robert Redford watch it. But also, sound. Sound is incredible. I remember watching this and thinking the sound is so good, it's so crisp, it's so precise. You have these downhill racing scenes and you hear the skis fluttering on the ice and you hear his breath. This is the best sound design ever.”

“What’s this one?, okay. Downhill Racer. Really exciting movie to watch. Robert Redford plays a ski racer. You would be surprised how it holds up. Back in the day, they were limited by what was available to them and yet filmmakers put you right in the heart of something. You feel his heartbeat this entire movie. It’s really exciting, Downhill Racer. I loved it.”
