C’était un rendez-vous

I rate this as one of the crazier things I’ve watched in a law school library this semester. With, of course, the volume playing. You gotta hear it!

    That famous bit of cinema verité can be purchased directly from Spirit Level Films. I have a copy and when you play it really loud on the big stereo/TV, it’s quite impressive.

    There is much doubt that Lalouche actually shot it in one take, without traffic control, as he contends, but regardless, it’s very well done, including at least one missed shift and banging over the curb to avoid a garbage truck. Legend has it, the car was an 8-cylinder Ferarri driven by ex-F1 pilote Jacques Lafitte.

  9. Crank Says:

    “But dude, it’s the FRENCH public. How cool is that?” I so knew I opened myself to that statement. Good fer you Mikey.

  10. Aaron Says:

    I was waiting for a rider to get hit or something really cool like that. Driving too fast for conditions, so novel, well not really, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

    why didn’t he just take the subway, he’d a been there in like 5 minutes.

  13. dentext Says:

    That’s the classic bit of film; ya gotta come across it sooner or later.
    as ubiquitous as graham watson.
    XCool that you just now saw it, you’ll see it’s echo’s in 20 different things.

  14. dave Says:

    Silly me. I thought he was trying to rip off the chase scene in the film Bullitt, which probably came along before most of you were born.

  15. sommerfliesby Says:

    I kept trying to figure out what kind of car it was from the sounds of the engine and the shifting…I was kinda hoping they’d show it. 8 cylinder Ferrari sounds plausible…to deep to be a 12, not whingy enough to be a 6…unless it’s the 6 outta a WRX. Cool vid tho.

  16. Bikefreak Says:

    Retarded.

  17. Gnome Says:

    Radtarded.

  19. HUMPTY Says:

    Nice Prius

  20. dave Says:

    Fuck you, HUMPTY. You made beer come out my nose.

    (Still laughing.)

  21. Harrison Says:

    I heard Toyota is in the process of recalling most vehicles due to gas pedal problems . My sister drives a Toyota, should the vehicle be used before it’s fixed?

  22. dave Says:

    Can’t remember what this was aboot, eh, and the noisamabob for my intardwebnet thingie quit working. But I’m glad that the Mrs. and I drive Hondas.
