Soon available on DVD and Blu-ray disc, this stunning documentary is a definite buy. The standard DVD contains two discs, with the second, extras disc featuring the ‘making of the documentary’, exclusive interviews and loads more footage that didn’t make it to the cinema screenings.
Closer to the Edge has been shortlisted for five prestigious industry awards:
•British Independent Film Campaign of the Year
•Best Documentary Release of the Year
•Best Campaign of the Year for a Film in 3D
•Premiere of the Year
•Trailer of the Year
…and had some rave reviews!
Top Gear: “Some of the best riders in recent history, including Michael Dunlop, John McGuinness, Conor Cummins and Ian Hutchinson, are all drafted in to offer their experiences. Invariably, they involve a long list of toe curling injuries, supplemented by some horrific crash footage, all shown in three glorious dimensions.”
Nick Rufford, The Sunday Times: “This feature-length documentary vividly portrays the rivalries of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy – probably the greatest motorcycle road race in the world.”
Film Four: “A thrilling, funny and moving human drama for pretty much everyone, not just biking enthusiasts.”
The Mail Online: “I have no particular interest in the sport, but was completely caught up in the sanity-defying stories of four riders”.
