Le Lièvre de Vatanen (Vatanen's Hare) (2006,  Unrated)
Le Lièvre de Vatanen (Vatanen's Hare)
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.

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.
