Director Jean-Jacques Annaud did the seemingly impossible with his films The Bear and The Brothers. His footage of wild animals in nature — how did he get this stuff?
Simply amazing.
A surprisingly good film, too. Though not recommended for very young children.
Doing for tigers what The Bear did for Grizzlies and Kodiaks, Two Brothers offers lush adventure with a message that anyone can take to heart.
French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud directed both films, blessing them with his keen eye for beauty and a love for wildlife that’s as impassioned as it is infectious.
This time, the adorable critters are Kumal and Sangha, sibling tiger cubs in French Indochina circa 1920, separated when a treasure-hunting adventurer (Guy Pearce) inadvertently leads them to capture. He makes amends by defending their right to freedom, but before that can happen …
He also directed the excellent Quest for Fire.
