BEAR CUB'S as good as you may have heard, which is probably why the movie is so difficult to find. Members on a couple of web rental services and at walk-in video retailers seem to be keeping the rental movie for their permanent collections.
Offering a look at "alternative" Spanish lives in Madrid and elsewhere, "Bear Cub" offers characters that are real and missing the usual clichés. Consequently, the film moves you without pushing buttons and makes you think about things from different angles than the ordinary. As in most of the films of Miguel Albaladejo, there is little judgment, but lots of life. Highly recommended--and if you like it, try this director's fabulous ensemble piece "The First Night of My Life." |
