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.

The film is silent but a series of stares, glances and winks between the protagonists creates an optical language of flirtation and threat.
