Gorillas in the Mist (1988)
Country: US
Technical: col 129m
Director: Michael Apted
Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Bryan Brown
Synopsis:
True story of Dian Fossey, the scientist who made a study of the Congo mountain gorilla, and fought to protect them.
Review:
A well-made wildlife film with real, and fake, gorillas and a performance from Weaver that carries all before it. And that is, in a sense, both its virtue and its limitation: it reeks of one of those films that appear to have been tailor made for Oscar nomination.
