This Saturday night, during the38th edition of the Goya Awards, The Snow Society, a film by director Juan Antonio Bayona, took home 12 of the 13 awards it was up for.
The categories in which this production filmed between Spain, Uruguay and Argentina was awarded were: best film, direction, original music, production direction, photography, art direction, costume design, editing, makeup and hairdressing, as well as sound and special effects.
The Argentine actor Matías Recalt, who plays Roberto Canessa inThe society… He was awarded best new actor.
Bayona, who already had three Goyas as a director, but had never seen one of his works recognized as the best of the year, said upon receiving one of the awards: "We have spent ten years listening to people telling us that this film was not possible, that a film could not be made in Spanish with that level of ambition. And I say that they were wrong because (...) it has 150 million viewers (on Netflix) around the world. .”
The film, released in theaters in December and on Netflix in January, recreates the vicissitudes that the young people of an amateur Uruguayan rugby team faced when the plane in which they were traveling to Chile crashed in the Andes mountain range.
Based on the book of the same name by Uruguayan Pablo Vierci, who collected testimonies from people who survived more than 70 days at more than 3,000 meters above sea level, the film features a cast of Uruguayan and Argentine actors.
The film has been nominated in two categories of the 2024 Oscar Awards: best international film and best makeup and hairdressing, whose 96th gala will be next March 10 at the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood.
