“The Eight Mountains” is the story of a childhood friendship of convenience that evolves into a lifelong relationship between a pair of platonic soul mates, grown in the rocky soil of the Italian Alps.
A scene from the movie“ The Eight Mountains,” adapted from the novel by Paolo Cognetti.
It’s a bond crystallized in the water of icy alpine lakes, buffeted by high-altitude winds, formed on the surface of a glacier. Eleven-year old Bruno is “the last child in the village” of Grana, where young Pietro is spending the summer with his parents, away from the noise and pollution of Turin. Where Bruno is physical, embodied, confident, Pietro is cerebral, a bookworm and an over-thinker.
But mountain life is not all pastoral bliss. The fantasy of living a simple, beautiful life away from civilization is intoxicating, indeed, but has the potential to become toxic, as the call to isolation in the wilderness gets louder. Bruno attempts commercial cheesemaking and domesticity but becomes stuck in his identity as a mountain man, hemmed in by the invisible borders he’s created. He becomes wilder, “part man, part animal, part tree.
