Every statuesque, beautiful blonde woman has spent more time in the company of Neanderthals than she cares to remember. Seems it's always been that way: Clan of the Cave Bear, a 1986 feature scripted by John Sayles and based on Jean Auel's bestselling novel set in prehistoric times, stars former mermaid Daryl Hannah as an intelligent Cro-Magnon woman adopted and raised by lesser-evolved Neanderthals. Berated for her brains, sexually exploited, and generally treated as uppity chattel, Hannah's character sets out for the far country to see who else is there. Eventually, she finds more Baywatch-like gods and goddesses similar to herself, including an Aryan-looking stud with whom she discovers how good sex can feel with a warm, caring, proto-human. Sayles's writing on this project is forceful but cheeky. It's hard not to laugh at a number of scenes that shouldn't, in the strictest sense, be laughed at (the use of subtitles to decipher caveman grunts and clucks may or may not be an intentional running joke), but one gets the feeling Sayles looked upon this challenge as a pop exercise instead of (as many of the book's fans would have preferred) a religious experience. Michael Chapman, ace cinematographer of Mean Streets and The Wanderers, directed with an eye toward primitive exotica and made this a terrific-looking movie. Author Auel was reportedly unhappy with the final results on screen, but the film is well worth a fascinated look. With Pamela Reed and James Remar. --Tom Keogh

I'll start by saying that I haven't read the books. I'll have to put them on my list because I did like this film.
Having said that I will say that it's a bit far fetched. Ayla, played by Daryl Hannah, is an uber feminist Cro-Magnon woman. Sure, that's a big boost for womankind, but totally unrealistic when it comes down to it. Having been raised by a group of male first Neanderthals chances of her being such a feminist in this hard time is really not that high.
But then ... Read More

The cover art is great and Daryl Hannah can't help but be beautiful. The music is full of portent as it highlights the arrival of a superior being. Unfortunately, the movie is difficult to watch: enough to make one throw one's hands up in dismay with the realization it isn't going to get any better. Where is the acting? Not the high school kind, how about some real acting? How about some material or direction for the actors to work with? Buy the soundtrack CD if you like, but don't waste your ... Read More

My dad asked me to order this movie for him. I had never heard of it, but I watched it when I received it in the mail. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed the movie.
The characters consist of neanderthals and cro-magnons (prehistoric people) so you might think they run around grunting and throwing rocks or something. That's not what you get with this movie. The dialogue consists of simple sounds and hand gestures (you have to watch the movie with subtitles, there's ... Read More

Read the book in back in the 1980's...just so there's no confusion.
Okay, now to the movie. First of all, at 98 minutes, this movie was
just WAY too short! I'd really love to know what ended up on the
cutting room floor, and whether any of that footage could have helped
flesh out what's otherwise a pretty decent movie anyways.
Remember that this movie came out just a few years after the release
of The Quest for Fire. Before that, there was what...One ... Read More

Clan of the Cave Bear tells the story of a pre-historic child that looses her tribe and was found by a male dominating tribe (Cave Bear tribe). Ala being of a different race was thought to be a bad omen so she was descriminated by most of the tribe. The leader's son hates her the most and tries his hardest to make her life miserible. He rapes her repetedly (they are fully clothed) so it's not supprising that she eventually became pregnant. In this tribe it is punishable by death for a woman to touch a weapon ... Read More
