First trailer for the mysterious French film "La Montagne" set in the Alps

Unifrance has released an official trailer for a mysterious and intriguing film titled La Montagne, directed by a French filmmaker named Thomas Salvador. Salvador also wrote and played the main character, Pierre, who gets lost in the mountains after being swept away by their magnificent mystery and majesty. This premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar, but I didn't see it until the Sitges Film Festival in the fall - here's my full review. Pierre, a Parisian engineer, goes up to the Alps for his work. Irresistibly attracted by what surrounds him, he camps alone in the high mountains and leaves behind him his daily life. Up there, he meets Léa, chef of a mountain restaurant, while strange lights sparkle in the deep mountains. It takes place in Chamonix near Mont Blanc in the French Alps, and everything changes when he notices these strange lights at night crawling around the mountains. It's a beautiful story about the indescribable allure and magic of the mountains - he is forever changed by his experiences. Check it out below.

Here is the official US trailer (+ poster) for The Mountain by Thomas Salvador, straight from YouTube:
