Society of the Snow

J. A. Bayona's 2023 film follows the rugby team and their companions on a plane that crashed in the Andes in 1972. The search was called off early. The survivors stayed on the mountain for two months. The film does not judge the decision they took to survive; the narrative also names the dead and chooses its narrator unexpectedly. It was shot in Spanish with Uruguayan and Argentine actors. It was nominated for the Academy Award for international feature. The subject includes the eating of human flesh. Who it's for: those who like true story adaptations and survival drama. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by images of death and of bodies.
