The French movie ‘Les Aiguilles rouges’ about a team of young unruly boys made to overcome a hard task will be screened at 3pm on Tuesday, February 16 and at 6.30 pm on Wednesday, February 17 at the Alliance Francaise.
Directed by Jean-François Davy, the film set in 1960 revolves around a party of boy scouts, led by Patrick that arrives in the Chamonix valley. Known as the Eagles, the party consists of boys aged between 12 and 16, many of whom are poorly disciplined. Their assignment is to climb the Brévent, one of the highest mountains in the Mont Blanc range...
On a purely punitive basis, eight scouts must climb the solid mass of Brévent to 2500 metres of altitude. The so beautiful and so majestic mountain turns out to be dangerous.
All the techniques of orientation learned by the scouts will do nothing there. The teenagers find themselves delivered to themselves. Lost in the abrupt throats, the eight boys are confronted cold, with the hunger and the fear. A tension starts to reign among these young people of different origins and which causes some worry to Algeria.
The film stars Jules Sitruk, Damien Jouillerot, Jonathan Demurger, Pierre Derenne and César Domboy. |
