Bear(1993)
Bear Synopsis
Bear (10 minutes, 35 seconds) was Steve McQueen's first major film. Although not an overtly political work, for many viewers it raises sensitive issues about race, homoeroticism and violence. It depicts two naked men – one of whom is the artist – tussling and teasing one another in an encounter which shifts between tenderness and aggression. The film is silent but a series of stares, glances and winks between the protagonists creates an optical language of flirtation and threat.
Bear (1993) is a drama film directed by Steve McQueen, released on January 1, 1993 with a runtime of 10m. It stars Steve McQueen and Vernon Douglas. Viewers rate it 4.2 out of 10 across 6 ratings.
