Took a notion and made a trip to the #IFI to see The Eight Mountains (Le Otto Montagne). An Italian movie about a boy from the city who befriends a mountain boy during the summer, and how their lives take different paths through adulthood.

I thought it was very good, with some universal themes around the reality of life.

@noplasticshower Yes I believe there is a version of #EightMountains with English subs. Here's how to see it in #Nijmegen in the #Netherlands for example:

U.S rights have been acquired but there doesn't appear to be a UK release date yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

When you discover that one of your #7Books has just been released in Italian cinemas and won the 2022 #CannesJuryPrize! 💃🕺💃

Billed as the straight #BrokebackMountain, Paolo Cognetti's #EightMountains is the story of two boys, one from a remote mountain village, one from the city: but it is the city boy who stays in the village whilst the mountain boy goes travelling. In adulthood they reunite to build a mountain house but cracks appear in their friendship
