The Mountains review – a beautiful portrait of a family's attempt to process a tragedy
In his debut feature, Christian Einshøj tends to the hidden wounds of family by rewinding to the past. As a young boy, he moved from Norway to Denmark with his parents and his brother Frederik. The change was supposed to be temporary. Tragedy, however, struck: Kristoffer, one of Einshøj's brothers, was born with a terminal condition. His illness and later death cast a dark shadow over a once tightly knit household: they would never return to Denmark to live as a family again. Through voiceover, Einshøj recalls this painful history with profound introspection, as well as humour. Grainy home videos, largely shot by Einshøj's father, Søren, resurface, but while Søren used his camera to preserve Kristoffer's memories before his death, Einshøj turns to film-making as a means of reconciliation. Unable to process Kristoffer's death, Søren retreats into the numbing grind of work. Meanwhile, Einshøj has grown apart from his surviving brothers, Frederik and Alex, both of whom experience periods of depression as a result of their shared trauma. It is perhaps due to the confessional nature of Einshøj's project that, after years of silence, the brothers finally open up to one another about their deepest fears and anxieties. At times, the documentary has the freewheeling charm of a road movie, with Einshøj embarking on various journeys to bring his scattered family together. In one particularly touching sequence, filled with the deadpan humour of Einshøj's narration, the three brothers dress up in superhero costumes. Behind them is the majestic mountain range of their childhood home; with the young men now standing shoulder to shoulder, a beautiful picture of love and unity emerges from the heartaches of yesterday. The Mountains is on True Story from 8 August

Denmark's Crown Prince Christian, 19, parties with friends at popular music festival
The 19-year-old Prince of Denmark has gotten as far away from prestige and ceremony as possible and has been spotted having fun at festival. Christian is the eldest son of Australia's own Queen Mary, who left Australia to marry King Frederik. When they met Frederik, was still a prince. Their romance and subsequent marriage sent Australia into quite the meltdown. Over 20 years later and countless Women's Weekly cover stories later, the couple are still together. Queen Mary still visits home, and King Frederik officially took the throne in 2024; since then, the pair has ruled Denmark together. Their 19-year-old son, on the other hand, who towers over his father, Frederik, who is 6 feet tall himself, was seen letting loose at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. 5 The 19-year-old Prince of Denmark attended the Roskilde Festival. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA 5 Prince Christian wore baggy blue jean shorts and a baggy white shirt at the event. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA He was spotted bro-ing out with his mates and looked just like any other festival goer. He even rocking a wristband. The 19-year-old kept it very Gen Z chic in oversized denim shorts (the kind Adam Sandler used to wear when they were considered cringeworthy) and an oversized white T-shirt, along with worn-looking sneakers. He was seen smiling, singing, dancing, in the crowd and hanging out with his mates. 5 Prince Christian appeared to blend in with the crowd as he wore his casual attire. Søren Lambert/Aller/MEGA It was remarkably normal behavior for someone who is set to become King. Online people were thrilled to see the young royal living a relatively normal life and also amazed that he is now an adult. 'I love this for him. That he can spend a few days at a huge festival without really being bothered,' one cheered. 5 Prince Christian is the eldest child of King Frederik X and Queen Mary. Getty Images 5 Prince Christian is next in line to the Danish throne. Getty Images 'He looks so matured,' another praised. 'When did he grow up so fast?' Another asked. Christian's festival partying comes after his parents announced last year that the heir to the Danish throne would be taking some time off before commencing any university studies. It was announced he'd embark on an 'extended stay in East Africa' where he'd be working on two farms doing both practical and administrative tasks. After returning, he started his four-month military service at the Guard Hussar Regiment in February, and it has now been announced that he will commence Lieutenant training in August this year. 'The training starts in early August 2025 and lasts one year plus a subsequent period of practical service as a platoon leader. The Crown Prince will complete his ongoing military service with the Guard Hussar Regiment at the end of May,' The Royal House said in a media release.
