The Bear
Filmfest 2015
(Der Bär)
(L’ OURS)
France, USA 1988
German Version
(Original: German)
Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud
Douce and Bart, the stars of THE BEAR, are just that: bears, the Kodiak kind. Jean-Jacques Annaud's film indulges in sheer back-to-basics bravado. This time Mr. Annaud has elected to see things from a mostly wordless, bear's-eye view, and has attempted to enter the thoughts of creatures who, as Mr. Annaud presents it, are a lot like us. Only better.
