Morning on the Lièvre

About This Movie

Morning on the Lièvre is a fascinating piece, really. It’s like a visual poem in itself, pairing the stunning autumn colors of Québec’s Lièvre River with Archibald Lampman's evocative words. The pacing is leisurely, inviting viewers to soak in the vibrant hues of the trees as they mirror in the water. There’s something deeply atmospheric about it; you can almost feel the crisp air and hear the rustling leaves. The practical effects are simply the beauty of nature, which makes it distinct in a way. It’s not just a film; it’s an experience that captures a fleeting moment in time, transporting you to that tranquil setting. Kind of a gem for anyone who appreciates the art of short films.

Morning on the Lièvre is quite a rarity, often overlooked in discussions about short films from the early '60s. There aren't many formats available, making it a bit scarce, especially on physical media. Collectors often appreciate its unique blend of visuals and poetry, and it tends to generate interest among those who value artful cinematography and atmospheric storytelling. Its status as a niche title means it has potential for growth in collector circles.
