• Rewarded by the Critics and the jury of Gérardmer, "The Mountain" by Thomas Salvador shares the director's solitary stay in a wild nature.

  • This contemplative fable in which the director films himself flirts with the fantastic.

  • The director of "Vincent has scales" signs a contemplative and peacefully beautiful film.

A breath of fresh air.

La Montagne

by Thomas Salvador takes the viewer along with its main protagonist on an introspective journey to the heart of the Alps.

In the shoes of an engineer who, on a whim, drops everything to isolate himself in the middle of nature, the director of

Vincent has no scales

continues to flirt with the fantastic, which seduced the jury and Critics at Gérardmer where the film won two prizes.



“I was afraid that everyone would get bored after fifteen minutes, confided the director to

20 Minutes

at the closing dinner of the festival.

I was surprised to see that the public was receptive to my story.

You could hear a pin drop during the screening at Gérardmer, the audience got so carried away.

Leave time to time

Louise Bourgoin provides provisions and a benevolent human presence to the hero who discovers peace in this film with sumptuous images that delivers a discreet ecological message.

The director delivers a peacefully beautiful fable and leaves time to time, leaving no room for the marvellous.

After tackling superheroes in an original way in his first film, the filmmaker continues to flirt with the fantastic to offer a bewitching work that nevertheless requires a certain availability of spirit.

Once this (light) effort has been made,

La Montagne

allows the public to share the luminous and magical itinerary of a man in full reconstruction.

Thomas Salvador does not deliver a "feel good movie" but he offers a work that feels good on the condition of giving him the possibility and letting himself be carried away.
