Bjørnen 1988
"Der findes en følelse, som er stærkere end styrken til at dræbe, og det er den, som lader et liv leve." Med dette citat indledes dette storslående eventyr om bjørneungen Youk, som lever lykkeligt med sin mor i de majestætiske bjerge, da tragedien sker. Et stenskred dræber moderen, så Youk må klare sig selv. Han møder en gigantisk skamskudt grizzly bjørn, som først ikke vil vide af Youk, men da de hører ekkoet af geværskud og hundeglam, flygter de, og deres venskab begynder og fordybes senere. Et venskab både til hinanden og til livet, så stærkt at det kan besejre døden. Den oscar belønnede gigant instruktør Jean-Jaques Annaud (Syv År I Tibet, I Rosens Navn) forberedte sin film i hele 6 år. Hver sene krævede måneders træning for de tolv bjørne, som delte hovedrollerne. Resultatet blev en form for film, som aldrig er lavet tidligere - eller senere. Den indspillede utrolige 1,5 mia kroner verden over, og var længe den største filmsucces i fransk filmhistorie.
