The end of the year holidays are upon us, and if you can’t get away for a few days to stock up on oxygen and take a deep breath of fresh air, then you might as well be your escape. With the help of some movies. Because cinema loves mountains, and its quintessentially cinematic landscapes often serve as backdrops for many films.
For example, in France, the comedy Les Randoneurs took its actors and audience on the steep paths of the Corsican hiking trails (discover 4 more remarkable films about Corsica). An expedition of five thirty-year-olds, “led” by Benoît Polvorde, is not always sure of the directions to take, at the head of a group on the verge of exploding, due to fatigue and many unspeakable things.
On another note, Clint Eastwood’s Sanction recently aired on ARTE, prompting us to present a quiz dedicated to the actor-director’s filmography, also set largely on snowy peaks.
The story of Jonathan Hemlock, an art professor, collector, and ex-CIA member responsible for the destruction of a man we know next to nothing about except that he is limping and is in the Eiger massif. If he agrees, Hemlock will get the Picasso he has long wanted, if he refuses, he will be reported to the tax authorities. With his back against the wall, the professor chooses to complete the mission.
We could also mention the movies Vertical Edge, Survivor or even Everest, but it’s time to play with these ten movies on International Mountain Day!
