The Bear - L'Ours - Jean-Jacques Annaud

First of all, this is the saddest movie I've never seen.....

Let check the trailer first :


The Bear, (1988) known as L'Ours in its original release, is a feature french film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud. The screenplay by Gérard Brach was adapted from the novel The Grizzly King by James Oliver Curwood.

Set in late 19th century British Columbia, Canada, the film tells the story of an orphaned bear cub befriended and protected by an adult male grizzly as hunters pursue them through the wilds.

Though the film did not enjoy overwhelming commercial success with its North American release, it was acclaimed in France, and was nominated for and won numerous international film awards.
