An incredible film based on what was written by Ernest Hemingway that adapts perfectly to the screen.
The Disney + platform has in its catalog productions that not only entertain, but invite you to stop and think. This allows you to discover series and movies less conventional, dramatic comedies or plots of emotional intensity that escape the usual titles.
On this occasion, the bet is on a work adapted from a classic author, with a careful setting and an introspective tone that makes it essential for those looking for something more than pure entertainment. That production is “Across the river and among the trees.”
Across the river among the trees
What is it about? On the other side of the river and among the trees
The story is set just after World War II in Europe, and follows the American colonel Richard Cantwellwho carries the physical and emotional wounds of the conflict on his shoulders. His life seems headed toward quiet resignation, when decides to travel to Italy to rediscover himself in an environment other than war.
During his stay in Venice, Cantwell He enters into an unexpected relationship with a young Italian aristocratwhich triggers a reflection on memory, loss, the sense of honor and the transience of life. Through that link and the setting, the film explores how veterans, pain, and the possibility of redemption are faced.
The result is a drama that mixes the war background with a late romanceas well as an internal journey towards acceptance of the passage of time and what remains after the war. It is precisely that melancholic but firm tone that makes Ernest Hemingway’s work come to new life on screen.
