THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS TBC

OUT 12 MAY CINEMAS

Adapted from Paolo Cognetti’s bestselling and Charlotte Vandermeersch, this intimate epic explores the profound friendship shared by two Italian men, Bruno (Alessandro Borghi) and Pietro (Luca Marinelli), over several decades. They first meet as 11-year-olds one summer holiday in the Aosta Valley - and it’s this majestic Alpine region that will shape their lives. Impactfully lensed on location, this elegiac drama draws much of its emotional resonance from what remains unspoken between the two leads.
