039. (28 Jan) Quest for Fire (1982, Jean-Jacques Annaud) 45
Having seen Clan of the Cave Bear, I'm aware just how awry this concept can go. Quest for Fire may be episodic and dull for long stretches, but it's essentially what you'd expect. A bunch of cavemen running around on their way to acquiring fire is about as compelling as it sounds. The Oscar-winning makeup is quite deserving, but it's Philippe Sarde's score that's the film's most sublime element.
