Based on Alice Munro's short story The Bear Came Over the Mountain, this accomplished and affecting feature directorial debut of renowned Canadian actress Sarah Polley is now available on DVD (Lionsgate). The film premiered at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. It opened in the U.S. back in May of '07, and did fairly well critically and commercially ($4.5 million). Thanks in large part to the various awards and nominations garnered by Julie Christie's remarkable performance, this small gem is now back in the limelight.
