Society of the snow

[Blue0987]

I watched it last night with my DH and 16 and 13 year old DSs.
Powerful, emotional, magnificent and amazing scenery. You just forget you are watching a movie.
Highly recommended!

Thanks for this recommendation, really can't wait to watch!

Loved this

Is this on Netflix?

Watched it, also watched the original film based on the book “Alive”. Studied the case as part of philosophy module at university. Do a bit wider reading about what actually happened and what happened in the aftermath.

Yes

I read Alive by Piers Paul Read back in the 70's.
One of the many things that amazed me was that Nando and Roberto walked for TEN days out of the mountains, not just walked down a smooth path but had to mountain climb in ordinary clothes and rugby boots.

The love for their families and friends plus their faith kept them going. Extraordinary young men.

It’s amazingly told! Just saw it with the cinema with a q&a with the Spanish director. His passion for the people involved both survivors and those who died is so clear. Hugely recommended.

Watched this on Friday and absolutely loved it.
So much better than Alive movie.
It was atmospheric and emotional and the scenery etc was stunning.
I thought the make up to show how degraded and run down they all got was very good too.

We watched this last night and absolutely loved it. It shows the determination ,
ingenuity and resilience of people in such an awful situation. Of course there are grim bits - the actual plane crash is one of the worst I have ever seen portrayed but overall just wonderful. You can't help but shed a tear or two . Reading about the survivors today is inspiring too.

I will definitely watch this- but I also recommend the ITN Drama Doc on Channel 5 which includes a number of survivors narrating and is fascinating.

So glad others have watched it

It was powerful, beautiful and incredibly well done

Relentless, and so sad, but a remarkable film. So well realised, and I agree the Make Up does need a special mention!

Definitely not a light-hearted, but I feel like it's probably an accurate depiction. Can't exactly say I enjoyed it. But I'm pleased I watched it.

Another one who loved this. So harrowing but very moving and life-affirming too.

I think it could win an Oscar , maybe for best foreign language film ? I will keep a close eye on the nominations when they are announced …

I should read the book. I can’t believe they survived that first night when they stayed too long

I would also recommend the ladbible tv youtube interview with one of the survivors. Absolutely harrowing

I watched that yesterday @SusanSHelit .

I'm going to watch this tonight. The current very cold weather is a definite sensory aid

Just read this morning that Society of the Snow has been nominated for a Bafta in the non English language section.

Just finished it.

It's so moving - I could sit here and sob. What a lovely film.

Looking forward to watching this, I read miracle in the andes by nando perez, really recommend.

I remember watching Alive, at the same age ds watched sos, but this was way better.
It's a long film, but we barely moved through the whole thing. For me, it was the way the camaraderie and pragmatism were depicted and the moments where they were able to find humour, in spite of the situation.

I saw this at a private preview last year with the director and one of the survivors.

It is moving and well done.

Being lazy- can someone tell me if it’s available the Spanish language on Netflix i.e. with subtitles
my colleague told me that it’s it’s dubbed which I hate but perhaps it depends on settings

watched the Alive film (with Ethan Hawke I think?) a few times but I bet this is miles better

We had subtitles and Spanish
