Bayona was the perfect choice for this kind of story. Even though there’s already a similar film out there and it doesn’t bring much new to the table, Society of the Snow is a blast. After The Impossible, Bayona proves once again that he knows how to handle large-scale disaster scenes. Absolutely intense!

Os 140 minutos correm rapidamente. J.A. Bayona domina a compreende as regras da profissão e do género e tem uma história real forte nas mãos. Não se detém no prólogo nem no avião a voar e atira os seus personagens para o inferno da neve o mais rapidamente possível. É lá que os conhecemos. As confissões mútuas de sentimentos numa situação desesperada funcionam e o número crescente de mortes contínuas aumenta a dramaticidade. O canibalismo é retratado de forma delicada e choca principalmente pelo tempo que os heróis da história tiveram que lidar com ele. E como se habituaram a ele. Bons atores e um final impressionante com ideias implícitas. A minha única crítica é o trabalho na orientação durante a edição de certas cenas da exploração da área montanhosa em redor do avião.

A famosa história da queda de um avião nos Andes nevados, em que os sobreviventes tiveram que recorrer ao canibalismo para sobreviver, foi já abordada no filme americano Alive de 1993. Bayona oferece um processamento mais moderno e cinematograficamente sofisticado (incluindo ótima câmara e a intensa cena do próprio acidente) em comparação com esse filme, e além disso, traz de volta essa história sobre a força da vontade humana e a tenacidade com atores à terra hispanofalante. Mas isso é basicamente tudo, porque em termos de enredo, o filme obviamente não tem muito com que surpreender. Os personagens individuais são geralmente parecidos e os seus destinos angustiantes servem ao filme principalmente para a comoção emocional do público. O que é simpático nele, no entanto, é que é realmente um drama de sobrevivência aventureiro, honesto e realista em detalhes, não sobrecarregado pela necessidade de inserir conflitos pessoais entre os personagens, permitindo assim que eles se concentrem mais no aspeto prático da sua própria sobrevivência. Também agrada a baixa dose de patetismo e uma abordagem muito discreta e humana do tema do consumo de carne humana.

Bayona is a master of the disaster effect. Whereas Alive was a matter of leaving certain things somewhat in the abstract, physical details are not absent in Society of the Snow. Does that necessarily lead to a deeper experience? No, but it doesn’t seem out of place and tasteless like some of the emotional-blackmail moments in Stand by Me. I could have done without the conjuring with the (unreliable) narrator, but it’s not worth concealing the fact that, despite the slight distance that this refined filmmaking evokes, this film has an excellent pace and the actual event on which it is based has enough...well, meat on the bone is perhaps not an appropriate analogy. In any case, Society of the Snow manages to reconcile reverence with adrenaline. Nevertheless, I still think Alive is the better film (also because I associate it with the experience of going to the cinema when I was a kid) and the excellent documentary Stranded offered greater emotional and psychological depth.

Netflix and J.A. Bayona deliver a reconstruction of the famous story of the plane crash with a rugby team in 1972, and although Alive is good, this more modern package suits it even better. Those who haven't seen the original will enjoy the film even more, but for those who don't remember it like I do, this remake is not harmful. Bayona is an expert on disasters, as he already proved in The Impossible, and the plane crash is brilliantly captured. Unpleasant, realistic, and brutal (that bone-breaking scene was epic, I had to watch it three times), the characters are likable; you will root for them, as the frost, hunger, and hopelessness mercilessly engulf you, which is an important element. I was hoping that cannibalism would be more developed (I hoped they would show some butchering, but that would be entering a different genre). The scene with the avalanche is also good, and despite its longer running time, the film quickly passed by, even though nothing significant or fun happens. Netflix delivered a decent, chilling survival flick right from the start, which will please fans of the genre. The story remains powerful even after all these years. 75%

The book is subtitled “The Definitive Account of the World’s Greatest Survival Story,” and “definitive” is exactly the word I’d use for its film adaptation. It’s a good thing this movie came from a Spanish-Uruguayan co-production, with Bayona being the perfect director for this project. With his name attached, you already have a sense of what to expect. Society of the Snow is a masterfully crafted, chilling survival film that grips you and evokes deep empathy for characters thrust into unbelievably harsh circumstances. The film's pinnacle is the meticulously shot plane crash, whose intensity and discomfort will rattle your nerves — the sound of breaking bones still echoes in my ears. Another standout is the avalanche sequence, where the omnipresent despair and hopelessness are palpable. The story of the survivors stranded in the heart of the Andes is timeless and universal, posing essential questions that most of us are fortunate to ponder only hypothetically: What would you do to survive? Anything!

A powerful, naturalistic and rigorously presented story. An interesting story from a factual point of view and, strangely enough, from a filmmaking point of view as well, as the creators do not shy away from depicting many harsh scenes and great shots of the snowy Andean environment, as well as a dose of suspense while wandering through the mountains and an equally emotional aspect that, especially in the end, makes the audience reflect on the whole event. A superb disaster movie that is good on many levels and that brings the audience closer to an event they probably had no idea about.

Netflix continues to surprise. After the flawless Reptile last fall, it has once again delivered a gem, this time from a Spanish production. Before watching Society of the Snow, I had to catch up on a film about the same historical event, Alive. Honestly, that American film doesn’t hold a candle to its younger Spanish sibling. The Spaniards approached it in a much more realistic, naturalistic way. Watching it was genuinely uncomfortable, leaving a much greater impact on me. Even the unknown and unfamiliar faces were impressive. Considering these guys aren’t very experienced in the film industry, they all gave outstanding performances. I was also pleasantly surprised by the ending, where it didn’t conclude with a rescue helicopter arriving, but instead, some screen time was devoted to the events that followed. Yeah, this will resonate with me for a long time. Fantastic. I give it a well-deserved 9/10. P.S. The plane crash itself shook me like few other things. A flawlessly executed nerve-wracking moment! J.A. Bayona is a master of his craft!
