IFF - The Eight Mountains
SAT 9 NOV
Coming Soon to
Roxy Cinema
Presented by Peroni
Winner of The Jury Prize at Cannes, The Eight Mountains is a story of friendship set in the majestic Italian Alps. A great tale matched by cinematography that is truly breathtaking. A boy from the city befriends the last boy in an Alpine village, and the hills become their own personal realm. Their life journeys divide them, but their friendship resumes even after years apart. The film chronicles life changes with the elegance of light changing in the mountains. Filmed on glaciers in Italy and the Himalayas and building a real house in the snowline anchors the film in authenticity. Luca Marinelli (Pietro) and Alessandro Borghi (Bruno) confirm why they are their generation's most important actors. Based on the Award-winning novel by Paolo Cognetti, it is a film that would be enjoyed by a child or critic. When this film was over, I knew I had experienced something beautiful. My favourite film of 2023. - Paolo Rotondo
