\u201cThe Red-Face Zone\u201d is an ironic, action-packed masterpiece. The Weger brothers can act as well as they can ski and snowboard. Matthias Weger<\/a> explains why the film revolves around a mysterious anger-related illness and the descent of extremely brutal couloirs in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can you describe the area in the Dolomites where you filmed \u201cThe Red-Face Zone<\/a>\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthias Weger:<\/strong> In the Dolomites, we often get a lot of wind. And because the couloirs there are so narrow, they hardly get any wind. That’s why, when it\u2019s windy, we often head to the Dolomites because there’s still powder there. Four years ago, on a ski tour, I saw a very steep couloir that was interrupted in the middle. It looked to me as though there was a tunnel connecting the upper and lower parts. I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about it, so I went back the next day because it looked really insane. And it turned out to be a tunnel. Back then, at the end of the season, the passage was very small\u2014only 50 to 70 centimeters high. I went up and skied down, having to squeeze my way through. It was really funny, but more of a gag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
