  Society of the Snow 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 Jan 2024

  Doesn't linger on pity and doesn't linger on heroicism.
  Instead we get what feels like probably the most compassionate and respectful film about a catastrophe-type situation.

  It actually made me feel mad about how the survivors must've been treated, so rushed, so loud, so spectacle-hungry.

  I feel like these kind of films are usually a big pity-fest or a spectacle fest. This film seems to comment on that, never pressing too hard on any petal, never focussing on the big drama stuff.

  (yes I sparked on this, but I think it's genuinely good and I didn't have a big part in that!)

  Fascinating Cinematography
  Spectacular Light Show
  Intelligently Responsive Editing
  and of course, the captivating sound of Nils Frahm

  those fingers are dancing over the piano keys and it looks hectic, absurd and yet he hits every note creating this unique modern yet gentle and classical sound
