In a secluded village in the Italian Alps, an unlikely brotherhood forms between two young boys: Pietro, a boy from the city, and Bruno, who has only ever known life in the mountains. Over the years Bruno remains faithful to his home while Pietro aspires to greater heights, but as decades pass and lives unfold, their paths ultimately lead them back to where they first met - and back to each other. Set against a truly magnificent Italian landscape, The Eight Mountains is a profoundly moving portrait of a lifelong friendship. (Picturehouse Entertainment)

The most boring characters, dialogue and, in general, story that you can see in a movie from the mountains. In a movie from the mountains emasculatingly shot in 4:3 format.

A bit kitsch (which is not unusual with van Groeningen), but in this particular case I don't mind it. Visually gorgeous, with an image format that gives it a pleasantly retro analogue feel. If the voiceover of the adult Pietro had been reduced or completely disappeared, the film would have been at least ten percent better. Despite the relatively exorbitant runtime, I was not bored, which I appreciate with a weak four. (56th KVIFF)
