But the final words in this review, and perhaps the award for overall star performance of this film, go to the narrator/script. There have been so many ski movie narrations and storylines that can only be described as cringeworthy. But in Pleasure the narration is, well, a pleasure. I genuinely laughed at moments, I can’t think of the last time that happened in a ski movie. It tied the whole film together nicely and gives an amusing insight into what’s going on, without being intrusive. I watched Pleasure through with my non-skiing girlfriend and flatmates, who are fairly frequently subjected to ski movies, and they found the whole production a lot more engaging as a result. Though on second thoughts, maybe I just like the fact that they used a British narrator, who knows…
