Cast & Crew
Matt Roush says...
Spain’s selection for consideration in this year’s International Feature Film category at the Oscars is the latest to revisit the grisly yet emotional true-life story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes in 1972, forced by tragic circumstance to feed on their friends’ corpses to survive in the snow-covered mountains. Director J.A. Bayona, working from Pablo Vierci’s non-fiction book, leans into the spiritual and physical challenges faced by these athletes during an unthinkable crisis.
