Movie Reviews

6.5/10. Borderline recommendable.

It's not very good. I expected a surrealistic, bizarre movie based on the reviews i read here. Instead, i saw a drama movie with some laughable action scenes, more weird than surrealistic. Almost the whole movie is about Trintignant's interaction with the rest of the gang. I saw similarities with Paolini's Theorema, for some reason, this character enticed most of the gang. And this was unrealistic as hell, because he had zero seductive qualities, he was not even good with words.But the worst part was his background. Absolutely ridiculous.Yet, i gave it a somewhat high rating. It was interesting all the way until the ending. Whereas it didn't make much sense, i was kinda invested. Actors did a good job giving depth to those characters, and the whole interaction between them, was enjoyable to watch. Action scenes were laughabla but still, i was curious to see where it goes, and they were intense.This is an enjoyable movie. Running time was about 140 minutes, not 99 minutes as it says here. Maybe i saw another longer version of this. In any case, this is definitely not a movie which every fan of this genre should watch, but if you lower your expectations, you'll probably enjoy it: Being a fan of French cinema, helps a lot.

French melancholia crime

I have always loved this movie, since the first time I saw it, during the late seventies. First because of the story and characters, and of course thanks of the Francis Lai's superb score, so sad, so melancholic, in the perfect mood of the story. The tale of characters facing their fate, their doom, fighting in a struggle lost in advance. I am not surprised that 90% of audiences don't like this feature, even the old timers like me. I don't even speak of modern audiences. I can't explain the link between the kid's sequences, in the beginning and the very end, and the adult's ones. Is the young kid Jean Louis Trintignant's character when he was a child? Robert Ryan, at his ever peak, one year before his death. yes, I love this film.

Unique, surrealistic thriller

It's not a coincidence that "La Course Du Lievre A Travers Les Champs" opens with a Lewis Carroll quote: this picture has more in common with "Alice In Wonderland" than any caper film (the genre it technically belongs to). It is an extremely offbeat, wildly unconventional film, with a nightmarish, surrealistic quality: there is hardly a frame or a line of dialogue in it that is "normal" or predictable. It is way too drawn-out in its storytelling to be wholly successful (the wheels of the plot are not set in motion until the last quarter (!) of its 141-minute running time), but it's certainly a unique experience. Great international cast, with a stunning contrast between exotic beauty Lea Massari and girl-next-door beauty Tisa Farrow. **1/2 out of 4.
