About The Bear Cage
In the Brussells suburb known as "Bear Cage," a poor grocer is at odds with his sexually hyperactive and fashionably Maoist son, who is also a college student. When the students at the college stage a protest in which his son is involved, his exasperation mounts.
Directed by Marian Handwerker, The Bear Cage leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Pascal, Yvette Merlin, Michel François — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1974.
