Director: Claude LeLouch
Doing something a little different here. What is presented is the entire 9 minute short from French director LeLouch. This is a single-shot film from the perspective of a car speeding through the streets of Paris. What is exciting about this is the danger that LeLouch (as the driver) put himself and others in, as well as the interest of driving through all the famous sections of the city of love. The scene was shot in the morning which is why the driver is able to speed through the town without running into congestion, however, according to the myth (and there's a lot of myths surrounding this film) Lelouch was arrested after the first showing of the film. Rendez-vous is an exciting application of Cinéma vérité ("cinema of truth") and there's a nice touch at the end to make a little sense of it all.
