I talk to Felix Van Groeningen about his new film The Eight Mountains, which he, along with his partner Charlotte Vandermeersch, wrote and directed from Paolo Cognetti's novel, as well as Italian cinema generally. Felix is also the director of The Misfortunates (2009), The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012) and Belgica (2016). He made his English-language debut with the biographical drama Beautiful Boy (2018).My review of The Eight Mountains for Sight and Sound can be read here.
