Review: ‘The Eight Mountains’ is a luminous, gentle stunner

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:41:40 GMT

Seasons and years blow through the high Alpine peaks of the decades-spanning “The Eight Mountains.” But a warm, abiding glow persists throughout this tender, even restorative epic of male friendship.

Spain is particularly hard hit, with farmers’ association COAG forecasting that cereal crops will fail entirely in four regions this year.Planas on Monday sent a letter to Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski requesting aid for farm workers in Spain’s agricultural heartlands, including from the crisis reserve of the bloc’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and unused rural development funds.Across Eu...
