Polar bears are among the world's most dangerous animals. For most of the year they are out on the ice of Hudson Bay - until it melts, when they come ashore and Churchill,
Manitoba, becomes reluctant host to them for two months. They saunter down Main Street, plunder the rubbish dump, and break into homes - posing problems for the Bear Patrol.

The acclaimed film
By Paolo and Vittorio Taviani
Starring Omero Antonutti, Margarita Lozano

The Taviani brothers' visually stunning film brings to life four of Luigi Pirandello's short stories. Tales of love, sorrow and laughter, shaded by superstition and gentle irony and dominated by the harsh landscapes of Sicily, lead to an imagined episode in the writer's own life.
Pirandello was born in Sicily near the forest of Cavusu, the dialect corruption of the Greek word 'kaos'. 1: The Other Son 2: Moon Sickness 3: The Jar 4: Requiem 5: Conversing with Mother

"A successton of breathtaking visions and glorious landscapes" (The Times) "A visual and verbal masterpiece without blemish" (Daily Telegraph) "Exhilarating" (Time Out)

Freely adapted from the short stories of Luigi Piranddello
Written and directed by Paolo Taviani and Vittorio Taviani
(An Italian film with English subtitles. First showing on British tv)
