C'etait un Rendez-Vous

Filmed in 1976, the revered short film by seminal French director Claude Lelouch is regarded as the ultimate chase scene - the connoisseur's trump card in response to "Bullitt" or "The French Connection". It is uncompromising to an astonishing degree and could only be the product of a man like Lelouch - a man's man, with a string of wives, fast cars and great films behind him.

Lack of availability has only fuelled myths surrounding the film. What we do know is that there are no special effects, no speeding up of the film of blocking off of the streets. Lelouch simply mounted the camera on the front of the car and takes us on an astonishing, quite literally death-defying drive through the streets of a beautifully filmed 70s Paris with a glorious soundtrack provided by the engine's wail, tyres squeal and exhaust notes' roar.
