The Eight Mountains - Le otto montagne

Utterly intoxicating visually, this epic journey of friendship and self-discovery, set in the Italian Alps is a cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental. Through adaptation of an award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, filmmakers Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch portray, through observant detail & eye-watering landscape photography, the profound relationship between Pietro (Luca Marinelli) and Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), who first meet as children in an Alpine village. Years later, the estranged friends reunite, after the passing of Pietro’s father (Filippo Timi), in order to realize his dream of rebuilding a ruined cabin on a mountain slope. Rich and emotional, deeply affecting cinema.
