Claude Lelouch - C'était un rendez-vous

Full DVD as from http://www.spiritlevelfilm.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=16138&cat=248&page=1 Enjoy! ****** \\\"Makes Bullitt look like a cartoon\\\" Jeremy Clarkson You\\\'d be hard-pressed to find a film as steeped in myth as \\\"C\\\'�?�©tait un Rendezvous\\\". Absolutely compulsive - this astonishing, exhilarating and now legendary drive through a beautiful 70s Paris with its surprise ending has been enjoyed for many years as an almost Masonic secret among enthusiasts. Whisper the words \\\"Have you seen Rendezvous ?\\\" and you\\\'ll receive either a knowing, \\\"No, but I\\\'ve heard it\\\'s unbelievable\\\" or a smug, \\\"It is un-be-lieve-able\\\". 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\\\". Lack of availability has only fuelled the myths surrounding the film. Was Lelouch really arrested when it was first shown ? Who drove the car ? Was it Lelouch or a hired Formula One driver ? What was the car ? Was it really a Ferrari 275 GTB ? How (the hell!) did he do it ? What we do know is that there are no special effects, speeding up the film or blocking off the streets. Lelouch simply mounted the camera on the front of the car and takes us on an astonishing, death-defying drive through the streets of a beautifully filmed 70s Paris with a glorious soundtrack provided by the engines\\\' wail, tyres squeal and roar of the exhaust. Richard Symons, a documentary film maker with more than a passing interest in fast cars, managed to acquire a very poor 2nd generation VHS copy. He wasn\\\'t disappointed�¢?�¦ \\\"I\\\'d never seen anything like it, 9 minutes of adrenalin that simply leaves you with your jaw on the floor. Lelouch was supposedly arrested the first time he\\\'d shown the film and then it simply dived underground. To cut a long story short, I tracked down the director, we dusted down the original 35mm negative, restored and re-mastered it for release - we\\\'ve brought back all the details and colours and it looks stunning.\\\" Over the years, \\\"C\\\'�?�©tait un Rendezvous\\\" has come to represent something more than an adrenalin rush. It uniquely captures a time and a spirit that seems a long way away from today. Politically incorrect, anti-establishment and overflowing with a primitive passion - it is everything the bureaucrats hate. Which perhaps explains the cheers and whoops of delight at recent screenings. Lelouchs\\\' brilliant ending only adds to this - making a beautiful sense out of the preceding nine minutes. �¢??There are great films and there are classic films. Rendezvous is practically mythical�¢?�¦making a mockery of the legendary car chases in Bullitt and the French Connection�¢?�¦the most reckless, most irresponsible film you�¢??ll ever see.�¢?? Jack �¢??a heartbeat that explodes into the meaty roar of a high performance engine�¢?�¦something remarkable is happening�¢?? The Saturday Telegraph �¢??the maddest, most controversial driving film ever made.�¢?? Maxim �¢??The film is simply�¢?�¦heart-thumping, palm-sweating, teeth-clenching action�¢?�¦.an automotive equivalent of September 11th footage �¢?? you have to pinch yourself that this isn�¢??t a Hollywood production.�¢?? The Daily Express �¢??Everything you see is real. It�¢??s f#$king astonishing.�¢?? Uncut �¢??I find myself holding my breath, palms sweating�¢?�¦like a child at the circus gasping at the high wire act, I momentarily question the film makers sanity, but I am hooked�¢?? The Saturday Telegraph �¢??The most incredible little piece of cinema I�¢??ve ever seen�¢?�¦has to be seen to be believed.�¢?? Porsche World �¢??The most terrifying adrenaline rush you ever likely to see�¢?�¦it�¢??s only ten minutes long, but if you can take more than that without wetting yourself you�¢??re a better man than I am�¢?�¦the stuff of legend.\\\" Classic American �¢??Words like thrilling, exhilarating and daring tumble through my mind�¢?�¦nervously laughing at the sheer madness of it all�¢?? The Saturday Telegraph �¢??It�¢??s the extremely politically incorrect recklessness of Rendezvous that both attracts and offends�¢?? The Daily Express

Lelouch is a great director, this is a great short movie, but well documented that it is totally staged and manipulated. The car driven is indeed a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 V8 (The model only came with 3-speed automatic transmission) the audio comes from Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB V12 (5 speed manual transmission) Top speed? 85mph..Average speed? 48mph. You can find more detailed info
