Short Movie Rendez-Vous of Claude Lelouch, in Paris in 1976 On an August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Mercedes. He drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed since Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. Once everything was filmed, he drove the same route again, this time with a Ferrari because he wanted to overlap the sound of a powerful vehicle to give a sensation of speed and noise to the film.
