Sep 23, 2009 Ne l'ayant jamais lu, il me sera difficile de comparer ce portage franco-canadien avec le roman original d'Arto Paasillina. D'apres ce que j'en sais, l'ecrit etait, sous couvert d'un recit enfantin, assez cynique, burlesque et onirique. Chose qu'on ne ressent guere au cours du film, devenu un simple conte de noel animalier, qui joue principalement sur de tres beaux paysages, un petit lagomorphe tres kawai et une naivete volontaire un rien pesante. A l'ecran, le concept s'arrete d'ailleurs la car la forme initiaque de voyage de Vatanen et tout ce qui aurait pu induire une lecture plus adulte sont, soit sommairement esquisses, soit tout simplement passes a la trappe.

Aug 4, 2009 Wow, this movie really changed my opinion on Christopher Lambert. I really thought he couldn't act!! But he was great in this one. I missed the beginning so I didn't really get the story though I think the movie was cute. See more

Aug 4, 2008 Award-winning shutterbug Tom Vatanen (Christopher Lambert) is driving on a country road when the car hits a hare and sends it flying. On the spot, Tom ditches his professional life to care for the animal, which may be the furry incarnation of a warrior who guides lost souls. Man and critter tackle the wilderness, having comic and serious adventures at outposts en route. <img src="http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr292/munahh/Giden/2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Lurching from encounter to encounter, pic provides vignettes of healing and reconciliation until the hare's work is done and it can hop onward. If the humans had been as spontaneous, pic might have flowed better. Original Finnish novel was earlier filmed by Risto Jarva -"Jäniksen vuosi"(1977) that won 2 Jussi Awards in 1978. See more
