March of the Spring Hare

About This Movie

So, 'March of the Spring Hare' is a quirky little comedy that dives into the life of Henry, a rather disengaged file clerk. The film's tone is this odd mix of everyday monotony and whimsical daydreams, especially as we see Henry's fantasies about becoming a Buddhist monk unfold. The pacing has a slow burn, allowing the audience to soak in the Greenwich Village vibe alongside Henry, Sandy, and Solly. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances carry the narrative, giving it a distinct feel that’s both playful and introspective. You get the sense of a time capsule from the early '70s, with its charmingly offbeat humor and laid-back atmosphere, making it an interesting watch for those who appreciate the unconventional.

This film is a bit of a curiosity in the collector community, not widely known but certainly has its fans. It was released in very limited formats, making original prints and memorabilia scarce. The off-kilter charm of the narrative resonates with those who appreciate the idiosyncrasies of early '70s cinema. As a result, interest seems to be growing among collectors who enjoy unique comedic takes from that era.
