Or so a quote goes about a 9-minute short film called "C'était un Rendezvous" in which a man drives like a maniac
through the streets of 1970's Paris with only an engine roaring and tires squealing for a soundtrack. The single-shot
film, made in 1976 by French director Claude Lelouch, employs no special effects and was created using only a front
bumper-mounted camera. No one knows what type of car was used or whether Lelouch was the actual driver. The legend goes
that at the film's first screening the director was arrested on the spot and after that the film went underground. It
has since resurfaced and been restored and is now even available on DVD. Or you could just go
here to watch the whole thing. Search for "Rendezvous Racer" on the main page and
enjoy.
