The Eight Mountains, which won the Jury Prize at last year's Cannes, is a lush picture of a familiar friendship. JacobOller's review:
A story eternally running through novels is the hypothetical question of what would happen if a man had a friend. Supposing also that these men couldn’t really talk openly with one another, and perhaps came from different walks of life, the psychological groundwork is laid once again for a tale about a surface-level relationship that belies deep truths about masculinity and eagle-eyed observations about how we choose to approach our brief time on this world.
As a refuge within a refuge, these rural climbs hone in on the film’s observations of contradictory male leisure—of hyper-masculine escapes that shoulder stereotypical implications of solitude and self-reliance, but are, inherently, better when shared. Young Bruno thrives in these conditions, quiet yet capable, while Pietro succumbs to altitude sickness.
When Marinelli’s narration can be tuned out, or when the filmmakers embrace one of their lovely montages ,’ imagery thrives. Glimpses of a childhood best spent goofing around in fields and abandoned houses, with flashlights in bunk beds, shine through the gloom of a city’s suffocating traffic and classrooms. Friends, laughing by the light of a campfire, dribble grappa into their beards without a care.
