5.0 out of 5 starsa rediscovery
By alex weger on 2 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I saw this film in the early 1970s when it came out and I was completeley fascinated by the mixture of crime movie - if this is the right term here - and fairy tale. And, there was Robert Ryan, always one of my favorite actors, in one of his last roles, very ably supported by a varied cast (Aldo Ray, with whom he had made some movies in the past; Lea Massari, an actress lamentably not seen a lot - who looks, by the way, like an older sister to Jennifer Lawrence - and J.-L. Trintignant, who could be very strange indeed in some of his films). I had been waiting for this film to come out on dvd for decades, and so I jumped on it now when it was finally rereleased. It's like no other film I know in its dream-like atmosphere- although some moments have not aged so well - and definitely stands out. Sometimes there just are films which do not really fit into any category - like, on a whole other level, "Winter's Bone" - and this is definitely one of them for me. It was worth the long wait!!

3.0 out of 5 stars‘We are but older children, dear/Who fret to find our bedtime near.’
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 4 Nov. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It may be more unwieldy and have difficulty fitting on most movie marquees, but the translation of the French title for Rene Clement’s 1972 Franco-Italian but shot in tax-friendly Canada thriller La Course du Lièvre à Travers les Champs - The Race of the Hare Through the Fields - is much more evocative than its English language moniker And Hope to Die, which seemed to be one of those compromise titles because the one David Goodis used for the novel it’s based on, Black Friday, was already taken. But then the film’s poster and DVD sleeve, featuring stars Robert Ryan, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Aldo Ray and Jean Gaven in tuxedos isn’t exactly an example of truth in advertising either since they spend most of the film in lumberjack shirts.

Trintignant is the hare in question, on the run in Canada after causing a fatal light aircraft crash, pursued by knife-wielding gypsies who don’t care if it was an accident or not and literally stumbling across a dying man in Montreal’s Biosphère and finding himself out of the frying pan and into the fire when his killers take him to their boss (Ryan) in his remote lakeside cabin with the gypsies in tow. While the film does lead up to a heist of sorts (and a rather over elaborate one at that), most of the film is devoted to Trintignant trying to find ways to make himself indispensable to the gang and play along and act like a career criminal to stay alive.

But the real theme here, sometimes laid on with a trowel, is the way that the cruel games children play on each other continue with higher stakes as they grow into arrested adolescence – Trintignant is the archetypal bullied (albeit not without reason) kid who ingratiates himself with an even bigger gang of bullies to try to get out of trouble.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsDated even in 1972
By MV on 28 May 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
There's some films that just can't cut it as they age. This is a badly dated movie, the language, the 'action', the story. There's very little to recommend. An hour of the film is dedicated to building zero character in the 5/6 people laid up in a remote house. There are so many great movies from the 1970s - go watch them instead.

1.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing - not the English language version
By Mr Kevin E J Wheeler Tallim Aerotech Limited on 14 May 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It was not made clear that this was the French language version (with no option for the English language version). When i saw the original years ago, it was definitely in English. And with the cast headed up by Robert Ryan and including Aldo Ray I was not expecting what I got. It was painful to watch these two American actors dubbed into French.

I have plenty of French films in my collection , but I was not expecting this to be one of them.
