The Eight Mountains not the hike you may be expecting. Starring Luca Marinelli and Allesando Borghi, this is a tender and quiet stroll that glimmers and lingers in the mind like sunshine sifting through a cloud. Based on the celebrated novel by Paolo Cognetti, the movie is suffused with a kind of warmth that used to be a staple of Italian cinema. It deals with the power of friendship, but in a deeper sense it offers questions about what it means for those friends to walk, sprint and climb through this landscape we call life.If that sounds a little on the nose, it’s meant to be, since the heart of this sub-titled movie lies in the relationship between the Italian Alps and the characters on screen. The film is very much rooted in the region, which has been called “the center of the universe,” as well as the hardest place to reach in Italy. It’s a paradise for hikers, with its lush valleys, turquoise streams and open-air revines, and it’s the perfect place...
