Yann Viellard rated ★ 10/10
Sept ans au Tibet est une œuvre captivante, à la fois spirituelle, humaine et visuellement somptueuse. Le parcours de Heinrich Harrer, superbement interprété par Brad Pitt, devient bien plus qu’un voyage géographique : c’est une véritable quête intérieure, portée par des paysages grandioses et une mise en scène d’une grande délicatesse. La rencontre avec le jeune Dalaï-Lama est bouleversante, et le lien qui se tisse entre eux donne au film une profondeur exceptionnelle. Un chef-d’œuvre sensible, apaisant et inspirant, qui laisse une empreinte durable.
Synopsis
Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer journeys to the Himalayas without his family to head an expedition in 1939. But when World War II breaks out, the arrogant Harrer falls into Allied forces' hands as a prisoner of war. He escapes with a fellow detainee and makes his way to Lhasa, Tibet, where he meets the 14-year-old Dalai Lama, whose friendship ultimately transforms his outlook on life.
