C’était un rendez-vous
Posted on June 30th, 2006
C'était un rendez-vous is a 1978 cult short film by Claude Lelouch in which a 'Ferrari' races at high speed through the streets of Paris in the petit hours of the morning. While probably driven by a professional driver, this was not a closed course - but claims of of going over 100 mph are exaggerated, and the soundtrack with its gear changes and high pitch engine whine is also cleverly overdubbed. See the video. See the 'making of' video which features the much-less-glamorous-than-a-Ferrari Mercedes. Oh the wonderful illusion of filmmaking!
