Review of

Riccardo Paoli

Beautiful mountains and dizzying peaks are the backdrop to a story of beautiful, profound and conflictual friendship. The Eight Mountains is a film that tells the story of two children who become men (with all that entails....). One more point for the two actors. Advised Read all

A beautiful film about friendship and the search for self and others, in which the skill of the actors and a direction that is present without being intrusive and in constant movement, like the mountains it represents, stand out. Read all

A different panorama of

Diego Cineriflessi

The film adaptation of a highly successful literary novel is always a gamble. Cognetti's book, winner of the Strega Prize, is a mix of feelings and thoughts set in a remote mountain village, which is why the challenge could have been even more difficult. Instead, Groeningen and Vandermeersch, authors of the harrowing Alabama Monroe which brought them to the threshold of the Oscar for best foreign film, objectively win the challenge by managing to stay away from easy environmentalist temptations and by restoring on the big screen the hard life of the mountain dweller, the one without shortcuts and with little satisfaction other than peace. Why the directors chose the 4:3 format for filming when much of the amazement comes from the images of the peaks, and a more panoramic format would certainly have increased the effect, remains inexplicable and partly unforgivable, but the film works all the same . Could it be precisely this format that amplifies the sense of protection of the protagonist's friend? Does this format recall the gorges of the valleys? Thanks to the excellent synergy of two of the most important Italian actors of their generation, the story of an almost impossible friendship takes shape on the screen. Marinelli truly perfect. Without forgetting the performances of the kids, well directed and very natural. A somewhat surprising Jury Award at the last Cannes Film Festival, it is a good film that convinces in all its Italian part while it frays in the short part set in Nepal. It remains a work worth seeing in the theater and which differentiates the current Italian panorama. Read all
