Showings

The decades-long relationship between two Italians, from boys to middle-aged men.

Combines the earthy, rooted grit of Jack London with the vivid emotional landscapes of Elena Ferrante.

Watching Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s vivid, sweeping film about male friendship is like reading a satisfying novel… The film’s narrative turns may get a bit grandiose toward the end, but what precedes that is rich and moving.

The Eight Mountains resonates most strongly in its pregnant pauses as tectonic shifts rumble below.
