Netflix has revealed a second teaser for Spanish director J.A. Bayona’s latest film Society of the Snow, which premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. Based on a true story, which was already turned into the movie Alive in the 90s. In 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which had been flying a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes mountains. Only 29 of the 45 passengers survived. Trapped in one of the most hostile and inaccessible environments on the planet, they have to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. A story of endurance and perseverance in the extreme. This is such a frightening story of survival. The film’s full ensemble cast includes: Enzo Vogrincic, Agustín Pardella, Matías Recalt, Esteban Bigliardi, Rafael Federman, Fernando Contigiani García, Diego Vegezzi, Esteban Kukuriczka, Francisco Romero, Valentino Alonso, Tomás Wolf, Agustín Della Corte, Felipe Otaño, Andy Pruss, Blas Polidori, Felipe Ramusio, and Simón Hempe. Featuring music composed by Michael Giacchino. I wrote a great review of this out of Venice, as it’s more emotional than I was expecting. This teaser is a setup focusing only on the plane crash – everything that happens in the film takes place after this.
Here’s the second teaser trailer for J.A. Bayona’s Society of the Snow, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:
