A LIFE & DEATH STRUGGLE...

The Bear, L'Ours

The film clip below from the 1988 Academy-Award-nominated film L'Ours (The Bear) was shot by French filmmaker, Jean-Jacques Annaud, over a six-year period in the wilds of beautiful British Columbia, where I lived for many years.

In short, an orphaned bear cub is stalked by a cougar...and the hunt is on.

The photography and sound effects are brilliant, and you'll be holding your breath as you watch the unfolding drama. Below is just one small scene from the film, and it's amazing:
