The Eight Mountains offers all sorts of ecstatically beautiful footage of the Italian Alps, but it also spins out a delicate, rueful story about trying to find a balance between nature and work...

Every teenage boy should watch this movie, and the sooner the better.

The look of the film is so spectacular that I almost want to recommend you see it solely for that reason. It wasn’t enough to save the film for me.

It is one of the few films I've ever seen that's about male friendship without buddy-buddy backslapping, and that's quite meaningful.
