Wie der Hase läuft

About This Movie

Wie der Hase läuft, a 1937 production, has this curious rhythm that lingers with you. It’s got a quirky charm, and while we don't know much about the director, the performances carry a lighthearted yet surreal quality, just right for its time. The pacing is uneven, which adds to its eccentricity, almost like a whimsical rabbit hopping through a meadow. Practical effects, or whatever they were able to muster, feel refreshingly earnest; they have that handmade vibe. The themes are a bit muddled but resonate with an innocence that’s hard to find. It’s not your everyday watch, but it’s something interesting to dive into if you’re into the oddities of early cinema.

This film has been a bit of a mystery in collector circles, with few prints circulating, making it somewhat scarce. Many collectors appreciate its peculiar atmosphere and the era it represents. Given its age and obscurity, it has garnered a niche following, though it’s not widely known. The hunt for quality prints or any additional materials related to this title can be quite the quest, especially for those captivated by early German cinema.
