Film Review: Story-telling doesn't get much purer than this--a short clip from a film with virtually no dialogue and not a minute that isn't fascinating, either for the plot it pursues or the way director Jean-Jacques Annaud gets his ursine stars to do what he wants. The story deals with a young cub who, after his mother is killed in a landslide, bonds to a lumbering male Kodiak. The two of them then must cope with an invasion of hunters into their territory--and Annaud makes it clear whose side he's on. Aside from stunning scenery, the film offers startlingly close-up looks at bear behavior. They say the best actors are the ones that let you see what they're thinking, a trick Annaud manages with his big, furry stars. --Marshall Fine
The Bear has all the marks of a classic. Lauded by animal rights groups for its respect for the integrity of all species, it manages to speak out eloquently against the senseless hunting of wildlife without having to depict killing to make its point. Instead, it emphasizes the ties that bind the human and animal worlds together. --Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
puca bearsLOVE this one, Bobbie - I have it on DVD. Yes it is rather sad in parts, but the cinematography is stunning......and you can't help but fall in love with the bears.

whoops the important bit - it's called DER BÄR
Boechout, AntwerpHi Bobbie,
It's actually a French film, originally called "L'ours" (the bear) by Jean-Jacques Annaud (released in 1988).
You can get it at Amazon for about US$ 8,50 http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Tch%C3%A9ky- … 962&sr=1-1
I have this film on VHS and DVD, but to tell you the honest truth : I haven't had the nerve to see it completely 
. I know the mother bear dies at the beginning of the film and I just know these scenes are going to heartbreaking 
. I'm such a big softie. 
Hugs, :hug:

You will be very surprised. Yes it does have it's sad moments but the good outweigh the bad. 
Creative Design Studio (RKR4CDS)So, you've seen this in English, Cyndee? On Public TV? on a rented DVD? where can I see it... was it recently?
I just became aware of it today. It has such great close-up shots of their bodies and faces; what great material for a realistic bear designer..
Thx all - B
Benson BearsAnd that's just how we like you Peter! 
This looks like another to add to my growing collection of bear film footage
puca bearsWell done, Peter....to the rescue again :clap: :clap: :clap:
Sorry, wasn't thinking straight last night - I appear to have been struck by a nasty bug.........just what I don't need right now...........
But DO watch the film right thru Peter - it will be worth it.
And Bobbie - don't forget to watch Animal Planet on April 4th, when they will be showing the "Bearwalker of the Northwoods" - featuring Lynn Rogers and his work..........lots of shots of young Lily and her Mum, June........but keep a box of tissues handy!
