Society of the Snow (2023). Harrowing, hard to watch at times, but ultimately this Spanish production is a cinematic masterpiece. It concerns the crash of a plane in the Andes in 1972 that was carrying a Uruguayan rugby team and some members of their families from Uruguay to Chile, and how the survivors lived for many months in the terrible but beautiful desolation of the high Andes, many of them dying over time. Extremely well made, and a worthy nominee for International Best Picture at the upcoming Oscars.
On a technical note, the proximate cause of the crash was an inexperienced FO making a navigation error, and the captain failing to notice. As a result, instead of flying through a relatively low-level pass between mountains, flew into one in poor visibility. They still would have made it but the Fairchild FH-227 was notoriously under-powered and they couldn’t gain enough altitude.
I see that this movie was mentioned here once before and I know there’s a thread on it, but thought I’d throw in my two cents anyway. Interestingly, for some reason Zone of Interest is a nominee in this category as well as in the general Best Picture category.
