![]() Tagline: Two infant tiger cubs, separated from their parents and each other.
One of the most popular and critically acclaimed motion pictures of the late 1980s was a film that, on paper, seemed to break all the usual rules for success. In an era where high-concept seemed to be the order of the day, this film had no big stars, no high-speed chases, no explosions and only about 10 minutes of dialogue. Its leading character was neither human nor extra-terrestrial.
The film was The Bear.
Its director: Jean-Jacques Annaud.
An Academy Award winner for his debut feature, Black and White in Color, Annaud enjoyed international success with such films as Quest for Fire and The Name of the Rose. Still, movie audiences were unprepared for the breathtaking emotional journey the filmmaker created in his depiction of the relationship between a precocious bear cub and an old grizzled Kodiak struggling to survive in the wilderness.
