Society of the Snow Credit – Netflix

Society of the Snow is a Spanish survival drama film directed by J.A. Bayona, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques, and Nicolás Casariego. Based on the 2009 non-fiction book of the same name by Pablo Vierci, the 2024 film is set in 1972, and it follows a Uruguayan rugby team after their flight crashes in the Andes Mountains. Society of the Snow stars Enzo Vogrincic, Matías Recalt, Agustín Pardella,...

J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow is one of Netflix’s most-watched movies of this year so far yet the director revealed today it was mainly intended for an older audience.

Speaking at MIPCOM, the Oscar-nominee said his creative team were “surprised” when the movie about the Uruguayan rugby team’s survival experience after their plane crashed in the Andes proved to be a “phenomenon” with younger audiences.

“Society of the Snow was meant to be for a more mature audience,” said Bayona. “When I look back it makes sense because it had young actors going through a difficult situation and the younger audience felt related to these characters. But it was never intended to be a film for young people and it became one.”

Society of the Snow, which launched in late 2023, was third in Netflix’s most-watched movies of the first half of this year, and top...

1978 is the new film from directing duo Luciano and Nicolas Ornetti, the Argentinian filmmakers (and brothers) behind Abrakadabra (2018) and What the Waters Left Behind (2017). Set during the titular year, it conjures up an intriguing clash between human and supernatural evil, but it never really adds up to the sum of its parts.

The film takes place in Buenos Aires, during the 1978 World Cup final between Argentina and Holland. With the country under brutal military dictatorship, the eyes of the world are focused on Argentina, but behind closed doors, government forces are continuing their routine activities of kidnapping, torturing and “disappearing” anyone they consider subversive.

Accordingly, 1978 opens on a group of torturers, including gruff, no-nonsense boss Moro (Mario Alarcón) and cheerful, overweight Carancho (Carlos Portaluppi), as they work over their latest victim.

New Zealand-based Black Mandala Films has picked up sales rights to “1978,” a horror film that starts with a soccer match.

The film will have its world premiere on Friday at the Sitges fantasy and horror film festival in Spain. It will have its U.S. festival premiere at Screamfest on Oct. 12.

Directed by Luciano and Nicolás Onetti, from a screenplay by Luciano Onetti, Nicolás Onetti and Camilo Zaffora, the story is set during the World Cup final between Argentina and Holland, and against the backdrop of a military dictatorship. A group of torturers breaks into a home and kidnaps a group of young people before taking them to a clandestine detention center. What begins as an inhumane interrogation turns into a true martyrdom: the wrong group of people has been kidnapped. They turn out to be part of a macabre cult guided by an unknown supernatural force and the...

Exclusive: The L.A.-based Screamfest Horror Film Festival has unveiled the first wave lineup for its 24th edition, taking place at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood from October 8-17.

Among the films to look out for at this year’s festival are two produced for Hulu by WorthenBrooks (formerly 20th Digital Studio), on which we were first to report: Screamfest alum Brandon Espy’s Mr. Crocket and Justin Harding’s Carved, both of which will premiere on Hulu later this year.

A supernatural horror film starring Jerrika Hinton and Elvis Nolasco, Mr. Crocket follows Summer Beverly (Hinton) as she embarks on a chilling journey to rescue her son from a sinister children’s show host with otherworldly powers. Starring Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Carved is a fun romp centered on a group of survivors trapped in a Halloween village battle with a sentient, vengeful pumpkin.

In addition to Carved,...

Emerging star Lux Pascal, whose credits include Narcos, has joined the cast of Chilean director Alicia Scherson’s next film Summer War.

The co-production reunites Chile’s Araucaria Cine, Le Tiro from Argentina, and Nadador Cine from Uruguay.

Summer War will centre on a US champion of the board game Third Reich whose peaceful summer holiday in 1989 is shattered when a tourist mysteriously disappears at sea.

Scherson is adapting the screenplay from celebrated Chilean author Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Third Reich, which was discovered among his papers following his death in 2010.

“Society of the Snow,” J. A. Bayona’s survival thriller about the real-life 1972 plane crash in the Andes with the Uruguayan rugby team, required painstaking SFX makeup for corpses, wounds, and severe physical deterioration. For prosthetic makeup artists David Martí and Montse Ribé, it was a far cry from their Oscar-winning creature work on Guillermo del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” 17 years ago. That was fantastical; this was based on reality. It was complicated, grueling, and performed under the most difficult conditions, including the cramped fuselage interior set and on location in the snowy mountains of Sierra Nevada, Spain.

Yet Netflix’s Spanish international Oscar nominee was much gorier until Bayona cut the most gruesome shots from the final edit (including severed heads and eating flesh from corpses) after realizing that it was too unsettling. “We worked like crazy doing the dummy [corpses] all around with ounces and ounces of silicone,” Ribé told IndieWire.

Society of the Snow's realistic portrayal is attributed to the cast's experience with low-temperature conditions and filming with real snow. Matias Recalt's personal tragedy of losing his father brought him closer to Roberto Canessa's character in an unexpected way. Recalt's connection with Canessa was further strengthened by his knowledge of medicine, coincidentally matching Canessa's profession as a doctor.

One of the members of Society of the Snow's cast recently revealed an interesting behind-the-scenes tragic detail that adds a deeper layer to Roberto Canessa's character in the movie. Society of the Snow, Netflix's most recent survival film directed by Spanish director Alejandro Bayona, has certainly brought back a lot of attention to a forgotten real-life story, such as the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crash from 1972. The film has been praised for its realism and the importance it gives to the people who didn't make it back home.

The doomed flight of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 remains one of the most astonishing stories of real life survival horror the world has ever known. Often called “the Miracle in the Andes,” this harrowing tale begins with a plane crash that left 12 dead and 33 stranded among the snowy mountain peaks of Argentina. With only a week’s worth of food, those left alive after the first few days were forced to eat the bodies of their fallen companions to survive the brutal cold and inhospitable environment. With the world assuming them dead, Fernando ‘Nando’ Parrado, and Roberto Canessa eventually made a desperate trek through the treacherous mountain range with little more than clothing assembled from the wreckage and a homemade sleeping bag. 72 days after the initial disaster, sixteen survivors emerged from the mountains, dirty, starving, but determined to live.

This incredible story has been told many times in memoirs, documentaries...

Society of the Snow authentically depicts the real-life tragedy of the Andes plane crash, including gore, violence, and the frightening aspects of survival. Director J.A. Bayona worked closely with author Pablo Vierci and survivors' families to ensure the film's genuineness, even filming at the crash site. The real rescue was difficult, with helicopters only able to airlift 6 out of the remaining 14 survivors due to bad weather, leaving 8 survivors to wait until the following day.

The Netflix hit movie Society of the Snow leaves out one brutal aspect of the rescue of the 1972 Andes plane crash survivors. Although the survival thriller omits the harsh reality of the real mountain rescue, Society of the Snow does not fail to include a great deal of gore, several violent or disturbing scenes, and an overall frightening display of survival to depict the real-life tragedy of the Andes flight disaster. The film is a dramatized...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on Wbgr-fm on January 4th, 2023, reviewing “Society of the Snow,” the third film version of one of the great survival stories in history, as it occurred in the Andes Mountain. Currently on Netflix.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

In 1972, an Uruguay rugby team takes off in two engine prop plane to fiy from Montevideo in Uruguay to Santiago, Chile. While over the Andes mountains in western Argentina, the inexperienced pilot reads his instruments wrong and hits a mountain ridge, shearing the wings and tail off. The fuselage with the passengers then slid down a glacier to rest in a snowy expanse in the middle of Andes nowhere. Of the 45 passengers and crew aboard, 12 died immediately and several others succumbed thereafter in the harsh conditions. It came down to 16 souls. They survived 60 days before two of them climbed a mountain to rescuers.

Netflix's biopic Society of the Snow receives high ratings from both audiences and critics on Rotten Tomatoes, thanks to its sensitive and harrowing retelling of a miraculous survival story. The film's critical score stands at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience score is at 86%. Both critics and audiences praised the movie for its sensitivity, inspirational themes, and storytelling techniques. Society of the Snow has the potential to perform well in the awards season, as it has already been nominated for the Golden Globe, Critics Choice Award, and shortlisted for the Oscars.

Netflix launches 2024 strong with its survival biopic, Society of the Snow, garnering high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes from audiences and critics alike. The biographical movie directed by J.A.

Society of the Snow Movie Review ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

What’s Good: Bayona and his team match the scope of the environment with the scope of the character’s internal conflict, creating a powerful dilemma.

What’s Bad: The movie’s overreliance on narration makes some of the most potent moments feel flat when the film needs to explain all the internal turmoil in words.

Loo Break: While the movie is long, the pacing is relatively fast, and we see our character fall into more desperate situations by the minute; there are no breaks here.

Watch or Not?: This is a must-watch, especially now that we are close to the awards season.

Warning: Major Spoilers ahead for Society of the Snow.

Society of the Snow is a gripping film that depicts the astonishing true story of a rugby team's fight for survival after a plane crash in the Andes Mountains. The film honors the real-life passengers by featuring an all-South American cast and is being praised as the most accurate cinematic portrayal of the events by their families. Nando and Roberto's heroic journey to Chile led to the eventual rescue and hospitalization of the survivors, showing their incredible endurance and the overwhelming relief they experienced.

The new disaster film Society of the Snow retells the remarkable true story about a Uruguayan rugby team whose flight crashed in the Andes Mountains in 1972. The story has previously been dramatized in the 1993 movie Alive which was directed by Frank Marshall (Eight Below) and starred Ethan Hawke as the real-life Nando Parrado. While there are several...

It’s shocking that the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 has inspired such lackluster adaptations of the harrowing affair, in which a rugby team and their friends and family are stranded in the snow-covered Andes mountains for 71 days.

Plot: The true story of The Uruguayan 1972 Andes flight disaster, where a team of Rugby players crashed in the Andes, and the survivors had to endure the harsh elements, avalanches and starvation before finally being rescued thanks to their own heroic efforts.

Review: The Uruguayan Andes Crash is one of the most compelling survival stories ever told. There’s a reason it’s become a popular topic for documentarians and filmmakers, but with it dramatized so brilliantly in the film Alive, what’s the point of another version? I was wary of digging into Netflix’s lavish new movie, but the fact that it was directed by J. A. Bayona, whose film The Impossible (about the 2004 Tsunami) is pretty underrated, made me curious. I passed on seeing this at a local theatrical screening here in Montreal to watch the screener, but about 20 minutes in, I realized I had made a terrible mistake.

The lore of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which fell out of the sky and crashed into the South American Andes in 1972, typically summons grisly images of cannibalism and gangrene. The 72 days that a Uruguayan rugby team en route to Chile endured, snow-drifted and hungry, have been dramatized elsewhere, including the 1993 survival drama “Alive,” starring a mostly white and Anglicized cast. Now, after a moment under the tentpole sun with the ill-conceived “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,” Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona returns to the style of more personal and human disasters with “Society of the Snow.” Shot in Spanish with Uruguayan accents, this muscular and often brutal depiction is chiseled with authenticity, but it’s too psychologically schematic to make much in the way of an emotional impact.

That’s not to say Bayona and his team haven’t devised some seriously impressive filmmaking: “Society of the Snow” was filmed in Spain...

The story of the 1972 Andes plane crash and its survivors has inspired many books and movies, even the TV series Yellowjackets. With Society of the Snow, J.A. Bayona adapts Pablo Vierci’s book of the same name to make something that’s close to the reality of the experiences endured by those aboard Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. The aircraft was carrying 45 passengers and crew, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby team, when it crashed in the Andes. Of those, only 16 would survive across an ordeal that lasted two months.

The crash itself is harrowingly portrayed at the start of the film, and with a minimum of buildup. The plane’s tail and wings are torn away on impact while the fuselage sails down the snowy mountainside like a sled. We catch flashes of the passengers’ limbs twisting and breaking, of metal shooting into flesh. The story moves quickly from there,...

Having spent the last few years in fantastical worlds (including directing :a[Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-review/' } and being one of the driving forces of :a[The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/' }), Ja Bayona is back in reality — and channelling a true story too boot — with Spain's Oscar entry Society Of The Snow. Picked up by Netflix for distribution, it has a new trailer online and you can see it below:

With Bayona working alongside Bernat Vilaplana, Jaime Marques and Nicolás Casariego to adapt Pablo Vierci's eponymous book, Society Of The Snow follows what happened when in 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes.

“I discovered the book while we were preparing The Impossible, and I immediately thought that I wanted to make it into a film,” said Bayona. “We put the project together over a period of more than 10 years, developing an approach to the story while working closely with Pablo Vierci.”

The survivors were forced to resort to extreme measures in order to stay alive. That is the same real-life event that director Frank Marshall brought to the screen with the 1993 film Alive, which was based on Piers Paul Read’s book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors. If you’re interested in seeing Bayona’s take on the story, you’ll be glad to hear that its release is just a few months away.

Spain has selected J.A. Bayona’s latest film, Society of the Snow, which debuted last month at the Venice Film Festival, as its entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2024 Oscars.

The announcement marks the first time a Netflix-backed film has been selected by Spain and the second time J.A. Bayona has made the cut following his 2007 film The Orphanage.

Society of the Snow closed this year’s Venice Film Festival. Based on the book of the same name by Pablo Vierci, first published in 2008, the film charts the story of the 45 people who, on October 13, 1972, boarded Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 from Montevideo to Chile. There were five crew members on board and 40 passengers, including 19 members of the Old Christians Club rugby team. Tragedy struck when the pilot began his descent too early, crashing into the Andes and killing 12 immediately. The survivors clung to the belief that help was coming,...

The 1972 disaster in which Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 went down in a remote part of the Andes while carrying a rugby team, their friends and family members to a match in Chile has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries and two dramatic features — the 1976 Mexploitation quickie, Survive!, which fell short of its exclamation point; and Frank Marshall’s 1993 Hollywood version, Alive, a middling entry in Ethan Hawke’s early screen career.

While it’s a fictionalized, gender-switched reinvention only loosely inspired by Flight 571, Showtime’s Yellowjackets has paradoxically made a bigger cultural splash than either of those films, with its genre mashup of horror, mystery and mordant humor.
