Quotes about grizzly (15 Quotes)



    It's not that I do not care about it. I've seen it very often in my career. For example, 'Aguirre The Wrath of God' was refused by the Cannes Film Festival and in the German press it was so badly reviewed that you had the feeling it was the worst film of the decade and it endured the test of time.

Bears are one of the places in the world where big mysteries run close to the surface.
