C’Etait un rendezvous (1976)
by
Claude Lelouch
DVD
under 9 minutes
Perhaps you have heard of this film.
Perhaps you have seen grainy footage on the internet. Maybe a bad copy on
expensive videotape.
Filmed in 1976, the revered short film by seminal French director Claude
Lelouch is regarded as the ultimate in chase scenes - the connoisseurs’
trump card in response to "Bullitt" or "The French Connection"
Rendezvous is absolutely compulsive viewing: an astonishing, exhilarating
and now legendary drive through 70s Paris with a surprise ending that has
become shrouded in myths:
Was Lelouch really arrested when it was first shown?
Was it a Formula 1 driver and Ferrari 275/GTB?
How was it filmed without blocking off streets?
What we do know is that there were no special effects, no speeding-up of the
film or blocking-off the streets. Lelouch simply mounted the camera on the
front of the car and captured a death-defying drive through the beautiful
streets of 70s Paris with a striking twist at the journey’s end. The
‘soundtrack’ is just as pure: the brutal wail of the engine, squealing tires
and the roar of the exhaust.
Now, for the first time, you can own a pristine DVD of this famous film.
It’s been re-mastered with digital sound and special features.
