C’était un rendez-vous – A Short Film

A long time ago, in the Year of Napster, I remember stumbling across some videos made my some crazy Scandinavians where they took their super-cars and drove through the early morning city of Stockholm at breakneck speeds. By the end of the 45 minutes of driving they were being pursued by several police cars, which seemed to be the point of it all. Today, I found a similar video, shot in 1976 by French filmmaker Claude Lelouch using a gyro-stabilized camera stuck to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB, driven by a good friend of his, a professional F1 driver at the time. The eight and a half minute joyride completely rocked my morning. The ending is absolutely amazing.

    I love that film. It was used in part as the music video for Snow Patrol – Open your Eyes.
