Tickets have been snapped up for several weeks for preview screenings of the feature film by Franck Dubosc organized in several cinemas in Haut-Jura from December 27.

Snowy landscapes

The movie turned largely in Les Rousses and Bois d'Amont last winter brought together a prestigious castingwith Franck Dubosc, Laure Calamy, Benoît PoelvoordeJoséphine de Meaux, Kim Higelin, and many others, in a black comedy taking place against the backdrop of snowy landscapes and wilds of the Jura.

The plot follows Michel, played by Franck Dubosc, who finds himself involved in a car accident and one mysterious investigation led by Benoît Poelvoorde. In an atmosphere intriguing and on background dark humorthe film Un Ours dans le Jura recalls airs of Polar Parka television mini-series by Gérald Hustache-Mathieu which was filmed in Mouthe.

The mayor transformed into a gendarmerie

The filming ofa Bear in the Jura took place mainly in Rousses and Bois d'Amont, as well as in other emblematic places of the department, such as the waterfalls of BillaudeVaudioux and Morbier. Between the castings and below the filmingthe film widely mobilized and sometimes hit the headlines last winter. L'old town hall de Bois-d’Amont had thus been transformed into a police station for the needs of the film, the Super U of Champagnole had been specially decorated to shoot a scene in theChristmas atmosphere and the absence of snowfall had even forced production to use artificial snow.
