THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS

For Pietro, the mountains are an adventure; for Bruno, they’re home. The two boys become friends when Pietro spends his holidays with his parents in a mountain village in the Italian Alps. Although they differ in birth and class, their friendship still endures for several decades. Felix van Groeningen (THE BROKEN CIRCLE BREAKDOWN) and Charlotte Vandermeersch have adapted Paolo Cognetti’s bestseller with both nuance and visual aplomb. A subtle drama about friendship and the call of nature.
