ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A thrilling psychological drama about an uninspired filmmaker, Lawrence Michael Levine’s (WILD CANARIES, GABI ON THE ROOF IN JULY) latest work is an artful exploration into the human psyche. Featuring incredible performances by Aubrey Plaza (CHILD’S PLAY, SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED), Christopher Abbott (POSSESSOR, JAMES WHITE), and Sarah Gadon (COSMOPOLIS, ENEMY), BLACK BEAR is an experience in human emotion. The Daily Telegraph raves, "The barrier between life and art can be a famously leaky one, and Black Bear impishly pokes its paw through the holes."

SYNOPSIS

At a remote lake house in the Adirondack Mountains, a couple entertains an out-of-town guest looking for inspiration in her filmmaking. The group quickly falls into a calculated game of desire, manipulation, and jealousy, unaware of how dangerously convoluted their lives will soon become in the filmmaker’s pursuit of a work of art, which blurs the boundaries between autobiography and invention.

ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

"From the (often extremely) raw materials of personal experience, Levine has alchemised an unflinchingly honest psychological drama, anchored by a riveting Aubrey Plaza."

Empire Magazine

"The barrier between life and art can be a famously leaky one, and Black Bear impishly pokes its paw through the holes."

Daily Telegraph

"The film grows both somehow more feverish and believable with each twist and turn, a roaring good time that can't even be overshadowed by the actual beast creeping around outside."
