"Note: It’s impossible to discuss the movie without giving away spoilers. Pretty much everyone going into this probably knows what happened, but if you don’t you’ve been warned. I walked into Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane that Crashed in the Mountains wondering if I could make it through the picture without becoming disgusted, and I found that the what everyone remembers about the story- cannibalism-is not the main focus. It’s more about in an insane situation, and it’s own way is kind of life affirming. The story has been previously told in Frank Marshall’s 1993 fiction film Alive (which I have not seen), and well known in the annals of airline disasters. In 1972, a plane flying from Uruguay to Chile crashed in the mountains of Argentina. The passengers consisted almost entirely of members of a Uruguayan college rugby team, their friends, girlfriends and family. Seventeen of the forty-five people on board died "

"The International Documentary Association announced their nominees for their annual awards today. The five features to get the nod are Kassim the Dream, Stranded, Man on Wire, Young @ Heart, and Waltz With Bashir. It’s an interesting batch of nominees, for sure. For one thing, it excludes some the year’s most seen American documentaries. Though Young @ Heart and Man on Wire made multiple millions and are thus considered nonfiction hits, both of the religion twins, Religulous and Expelled (currently the #2 and #3 highest grossing nonfiction films of the year, respectively, behind U23D) were excluded from the honors. Also interesting is the nod for the mostly animated Waltz with Bashir, which Sony chose to keep in the New York Film Festival rather than pull for a qualifying run. IDA also announced today that in addition to the career award t "

"Note: I’ve seen four notable documentaries over the past two days, all of which are competing here for jury prizes: The Order of Myths, The Recruit, Bigger Stronger Faster, and Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains. In the interest of time and brevity, I’m going to file short posts on each today, but I may revisit a least one or two of these after more thought and possibly additional viewings. ?? Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains Dubbed by festival shorthand “the cannibal plane crash doc,” it’s a 113-minute oral history of the infamous crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which was previously dramatized in the 1993 Ethan Hawke film, Alive. The surviving survivors give incredibly articulate, revealing, and comprehensive testimony on their ten weeks on that mountain, some (all?) from the site of the crash, but let’s not kid ourselves: this is a film about hearing (and, more affectingly, watching) people explain what it felt li ...
