Society of the Snow (Spanish: La sociedad de la nieve) is a 2023 survival drama film directed by J. A. Bayona and based on Pablo Vierci's 2008 book of the same name,[5][6] which details the true story of a Uruguayan rugby team's experience in 1972 after Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains. A co-production between Spain and the United States, the film has a cast composed of Uruguayan and Argentine actors, most of whom are newcomers,[7] and was shot mainly in Sierra Nevada, Spain.

The film closed the 80th Venice International Film Festival in an Out of Competition slot.[8] It was theatrically released in Uruguay on 13 December 2023,[9] in Spain on 15 December 2023,[10] and in the US on 22 December 2023,[11] before streaming on Netflix on 4 January 2024.[12]

Society of the Snow received positive reviews. It won 12 awards including Best Picture and Best Director at the 38th Goya Awards, 6 awards at the 11th Platino Awards, and was nominated for 2 Academy Awards.

## Plot

[edit]

On October 13, 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered by an Uruguayan rugby football team (the Old Christians Club) and their supporters, to take them to a game in Santiago, Chile, crashes into a glacier in the heart of the Andes mountains. Of the 45 passengers on board, 29 survive the initial crash, although more would die from injury, disease, and an avalanche over the following weeks. Trapped in one of the most inaccessible and hostile environments on the planet, the survivors are forced to resort to cannibalism of those who had already died in order to stay alive. However, rather than turn against each other, the survivors draw upon the cooperative teamwork they learned through playing rugby at the Stella Maris College and their shared Catholic faith, in order to escape the mountains.

## Production

[edit]

### Development

[edit]

Uruguayan journalist Pablo Vierci grew up, went to school, and played rugby with many of the passengers on the plane,[18] ultimately writing the 2008[19] book about the crash, La Sociedad de la Nieve.[20] Bayona discovered Vierci's book while conducting research for his 2012 film The Impossible, and bought the rights for the book when he finished filming that movie. The filmmakers recorded more than 100 hours of interviews with all of the living survivors. The actors had contact with the survivors and the families of the victims.[21][22]

Bayona struggled to find funding for 10 years, stating that the "major problem was the fact it was in Spanish with a big budget, which is not the big budget of an American film. So it’s been hard because somehow the market doesn’t accept this kind of product."[23] Ultimately, Netflix optioned and green-lit the film for Bayona.[20]

### Filming

[edit]

Principal photography took place in Sierra Nevada, Spain; Montevideo, Uruguay; Chile and Argentina, including the actual crash site in the Andes.[24] Filming in Sierra Nevada lasted from 10 January to 29 April 2022.[25][13] Filming in Uruguay concluded in late July 2022,[16][26][13] and the production continued in Madrid.[16] Production took the total of 138 shooting days, with its budget reported to be over €65 million.[27]

In August 2021, the second unit, headed by Alejandro Fadel [es], Argentine director of Murder Me, Monster, filmed landscapes in Chile for reference in on-set virtual production and post-production.[7][22][28] In Sierra Nevada, the production was challenged by a scarcity of snow, and by the Saharan Air Layer which covered the mountains with orange dust.[7][29] Three replicas of the fuselage wreckage were used: one was placed in a hangar built on a parking lot,[30] another was buried in artificial snow and supported by a hydraulic crane that allowed for it to be moved, and the third was placed above a tarn at an altitude of 3,000 m (9,800 ft).[22][7][28] In the hangar, a 30-metre-tall screen displayed the second unit's footage of the Andes.[7][29][28] The third unit was tasked with more dangerous mountain shots.[7] The three units consisted of around 300 workers.[22][7]

David Martí and Montse Ribé, Academy Award–winning special effects makeup artists of Pan's Labyrinth, created prosthetic corpses and wounds.[7][28] Post-production was planned to last about five months involving 300 personnel.[7][22] Vierci, who served as an associate producer, visited the set in Sierra Nevada.[22]

Bayona showed an early version of the film to one of the survivors, José Luis "Coche" Inciarte, before he died in July 2023.[27] The 14 remaining survivors saw the film one or two months prior to the premiere.[27][21]

The film was set as the 80th Venice International Film Festival's closing film, with a world premiere out-of-competition screening at the Palazzo del Cinema slated for 9 September 2023, following the festival's awards ceremony.[8] It was selected to screen in the Perlak section at the 71st San Sebastián International Film Festival in September 2023.[31] It also screened in the Out of Competition section at the 56th Sitges Film Festival,[32] and at the 2023 AFI Fest.[33]

The film was programmed for a technical screening run from 20 to 26 October 2023 in the Cine Aragonia of Zaragoza.[34] Distributed by Tripictures,[35] it received a Spanish theatrical release on 15 December 2023[36] and was released in US theaters on 22 December 2023.[11]

Society of the Snow was released as a Netflix original on January 4, 2024, and reached Netflix's list of Top 10 Non-English films.[23][37] In its first 11 days, it had 51 million views on Netflix.[37] Between its debut and the end of June, the film amassed 103 million views, making it the third most-watched Netflix film for the first half of 2024, behind Damsel and Lift.[38]

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 157 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "Society of the Snow brings masterful technical skill to bear on its tale of real-life tragedy, but none of that spectacle comes at the expense of its simple, powerful message."[39] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 72 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[40]

Roxana Hadadi of Vulture states that the film's “philosophical script and unshakeable performances” both “elevates” it and “pushes it into transcendence...not since Martin Scorsese’s Silence has a film so effectively asked us to consider whether faith is benevolence or a blight.”[41] Pete Hammond of Deadline suggests that Bayona's interpretation of the crash is "ultimately a spiritual journey on many levels, focusing on the human will to overcome the worst of circumstances," and that it is "a story of how humanity comes together for each other."[42] Wendy Ide of ScreenDaily argues that Bayona's "adaptation of this much-filmed story is elevated by bracingly muscular action sequences," and that what sets it apart "is the decision not to focus entirely on the survivors. Bayona is at pains to ensure that the voices that are foregrounded are not necessarily those of the crash victims who eventually make it home."[43] Guy Lodge of Variety says that the film is composed of an “unstarry, fully Spanish-speaking cast” and is a “brawnily effective tear-jerker.” He also says that it has a “nuanced, non-denominational spiritualism, which further distinguishes it from the more straightforwardly inspirational adventure brief of the previous film.”[44] Carlos Boyero of El País found it was "a credible and emotional depiction of the horrible experience of the accident".[45]

Teté Ribeiro of the Folha de S.Paulo insists that the film is "not for... weak stomachs."[46] The Guardian 's Peter Bradshaw said that while it is "a fervent film, heartfelt and shot with passion and flair," at the same time "the strange, dark mystery of the Andes case is overlooked by Bayona; the weird suspicion that the experience has made the survivors “post-human”."[47] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter found the film to be "uneven but ultimately effective," told "with authenticity and chilling realism, with emotion but without sensationalism."[48] Professor Jorge Majfud (author of Cine político latinoamericano) argues that the film must be analyzed with a "critical look," suggesting that in addition to this story, there are "countless tragedies that decided the course of global history," which are ignored in cinema.[49] Among the rare completely negative reviews, Luís Miguel Oliveira of Público states that "they survived. Cinema didn't," and considers Society of the Snow to be "a bad American film made by Europeans."[50]

### Response from survivors

[edit]

In a 2024 op-ed, two of the survivors, Roberto Canessa and Gustavo Zerbino state that they "and others have been telling our story for half a century, but the filmmaker J.A. Bayona has captured it in ways that we find inspiring and fresh all over again. In many respects, Society of the Snow violates a well-worn tenet of all drama: it is a film free of an antagonist. Yes, it is a classic man-versus-nature narrative, but there is no evil present in the film. It is a film free of cynicism, brimming with pure humanity, accessible to a wide spectrum of viewers. It is a film that has broken the boundaries of language with the universal message that everyone has the immeasurable potential to rise to the occasion, thanks, in great part, to the alliances we can and should forge as we share this planet together.”[51]

### Frank Marshall and Alive

[edit]

J. A. Bayona received an email from Frank Marshall, director of the 1993 film Alive, which also depicted the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crash and its aftermath. Bayona said that Marshall told him "how much he loved" Society of the Snow. Bayona went on to say that Alive "created an impact on a whole generation and, somehow, that film also is the product of its time, you know. That was shot in a studio, in a Hollywood studio. Shot in English. Maybe [it] was too soon, especially for the families of the deceased, to be part of a movie... But it was a very effective film at the time. I think that both films complement each other somehow."[52]
