The Eight Mountains (2022) Italy
Based on the book by Paolo Cognetti.
Directed by Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch
Thursday April 17th
Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre at 6.30pm
Set in the alps in Italy this movie focuses on the lifelong friendship of two men. Bruno (Alessandro Borghi) and Pietro (Lucca Marinelli) who spend their childhood together in the remote alpine village of Grana, Italy.
As adults the friends reunite after a family loss. A piece of land ties them to each other for another decade. This intimate story feels sweeping in scope thanks to spectacular cinematography which places the main characters against an awe-inspiring landscape.
This movie celebrates the ineffable relationship between those who know us best and the places in which we find ourselves.
The eight mountains refer to the eight highest peaks of Nepal: a symbol of worldly ambition and conquest.
