[ID. An edited graphic featuring the actor Luca Marinelli holding a microphone and wearing a shirt that reads: “Pen Paper Peace.“ Above the frame are the words “lmzine 2022 - charity zine” in gradient font, and to the right a gradient font that reads “update.” The background is blue hues of watercolor splashes, and a vector of blue torn paper.

Teaser trailer for Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS starring Luca Marinelli and Alessandro Borghi.
Photographer Alessio Bolzoni purged his IG and left only the Luca Marinelli snaps he took for Fantastic Man magazine.
I totes understand, Alessio.
I didn’t notice you can see a hint of Luca’s tat.
-Among the pictures that Bolzoni purged from his IG were the promo pics for Luca Guadagnino’s HBO series WE ARE WHO WE ARE and a few CALL ME BY YOUR NAME promo pics.
The trailer for Le Otto Montagne is just blowing me away. Luca and Ale on screen together. Pietro and Bruno brought to life! My word, my life and my heart!
I also love that this is the poster!
It reflects the book so well. Like it could be lifted from the pages! But Ale what is that pose? Is it safe? Especially on a roof, especially on a roof on a mountain!
THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS (LE OTTO MONTAGNE) will premiere in competition at Cannes Festival . The Eight Mountains is the story of a friendship. Of children becoming men who try to erase the footprints of their fathers, but who, through the twists and turns they take, always end up returning home. Pietro is a boy from the city, Bruno is the last child of a forgotten mountain village. Over the years Bruno remains faithful to his mountain, while Pietro is the one who comes and goes. Their encounters introduce them to love and loss, reminding them of their origins, letting their destinies unfold, as Pietro and Bruno discover what it means to be true friends for life. THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS is written and Directed by Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch. The film, based on the novel of the same title written by Paolo Cognetti, stars Luca Marinelli (Martin Eden), Alessandro Borghi (Devils), Filippo Timi (Vincere) and Elena Lietti (TrePiani).
