Produced by Argentina’s Pampa Films and co-produced by Bourke Films and Spain’s Gloriamundi Producciones, the narrative follows Linda, played by Eugenia “China” Suárez (“Alternative Therapy”), freshly employed as a housekeeper by an otherwise milquetoast family. Well-off and distracted, they move around in a tightly wound haze until she slowly coaxes their latent dreams and desires to the surface.

“It’s a film that explores family dynamics, a theme that captivates many. With a dedicated cast committed to this task, we’ve managed to create a narrative that not only entertains but also invites reflection on the importance of family relationships in our lives. Each...

Premiering at the prestigious Venice Film Festival, Society of the Snow is Director J.A. Bayona’s take on the story of the infamous 1972 Uruguayan Air Force flight that crashed on a glacier in the heart of the Andes Mountains. Chartering a rugby team to Chile, only 29 of the 45 passengers survived the crash. Finding themselves in one of the world’s toughest environments, they are forced to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.

Based on the book “La Sociedad de la Nieve” by Pablo Vierci, the film utilizes Vierci’s strong ties to the remaining survivors of the crash, many of whom he knew from childhood. The filmmakers recorded more than 100 hours of interviews with all of the living survivors and the actors had access to them & their families as well.

With a reported budget of around 60-70 million, Bayona spared no expense to bring the highest level of authenticity to the project.

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,...
