And Hope to Die (1972)
(La course du lièvre à travers les champs)
Country: FR/US/CAN
Technical: col 104m/125m
Director: René Clément
Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Robert Ryan, Aldo Ray, Lea Massari, Tisa Farrow
Synopsis:
A pilot who is on the run from gypsies hides out with a gang planning a kidnapping, and responds to their game-playing with a few tricks of his own.
Review:
An unwieldy title, a plot that is at times extremely hard to swallow, and an unbelievably pretentious ending are the hardly negligible shortcomings of a co-production with a bizarre sense of style and a slickness belying its inordinate length. The intriguing characters in fact make it watchable, and it seems concerned with the Alice-like experience of an outsider plunged into a strange world with its own obscure set of rules.
