Second Teaser for the Harrowing Survival Thriller ‘Society of the Snow’

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 ...

Touching Trailer for ‘A Still Small Voice’ Doc About a Hospital Chaplain

"Deeply moving and unforgettable." Abramorama has released the official trailer for a documentary titled A Still Small Voice, from filmmaker Luke Lorentzen, who last made the acclaimed Midnight Family. This initially premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Best Director prize at the end of the fest. An aspiring hospital chaplain named Margaret (aka Mati) begins a yearlong residency in spiritual care, only to discover that to successfully tend to her patients, she must look deep within herself. Described in reviews as "one of the most profound and rewarding experiences any film offers this year." Through Mati's experiences with her patients, her struggle with professional burnout, and her own spiritual questioning, we gain new perspectives on how meaningful connection can be and how painful its absence is. As Mati and her patients take stock of their lives and experiences, space opens up to reflect on our own. This looks like a touching, one-of-a-kind film that seems to be as deeply spiritual as any film can be. View below. Here's the first official trailer for ...

A Final Trailer for ‘Nyad’ Film – True Story About Swimmer Diana Nyad

"I don't believe in imposed limitations. I don't believe in any limitations." Netflix is releasing their new film Nyad in limited theaters this weekend, before it arrives for streaming starting on November 3rd in a few more weeks. A few days ago, we posted a behind-the-scenes preview showing the filmmakers working on the set and in the water to make this film. It premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, playing at London and TIFF recently. Annette Bening, Jodie Foster, and Rhys Ifans all star in NYAD to tell a remarkable true story of athlete Diana Nyad who, at the age of 60 with the help of her best friend & coach, commits to achieving her life-long dream: a 110-mile open ocean swim from Cuba to Florida. Intense! Yes it all really happened! It's also the first narrative feature made by the Oscar-winning documentary filmmakers Jimmy Chin & Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, known for Meru, Free Solo, The Rescue, and this year's Wild Life (great films). I'm looking forward to this, at the very least to spend time with Nyad and ...
