C'était un rendez-vous (It Was an Appointment) は、早朝5:30のパリ市内を8分間に亙って走行するシーンを収めたクロード・ルルーシュによる1976年の短編映画。
Shot in a single take while Lelouch was directing another film, it is an example of シネマ・ベリテの実例である。 The length of the film was limited by the short capacity of the reel, and filmed from a gyro-stabilised camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz.
オリジナルのテープの限られた配布数と、増え続ける要望から、最近、35 mmのネガからリマスタリングされ、DVDとしてリリースされるとともに、インターネットでも公開された。
解説
[編集]The film shows an eight-minute drive through パリ in the early hours of the morning, accompanied by sounds of a high-revving engine, gear changes and squealing tires. It starts in a tunnel of the Paris Périphérique at Porte Dauphine, with an onboard view from an unseen car exiting up on a ramp to Avenue Foch. Well known landmarks such as the エトワール凱旋門, 旧オペラ座, and コンコルド広場 with its オベリスク are passed, as well as the シャンゼリゼ通り. 歩行者s are passed, 鳩s sitting on the streets are scattered, 赤信号 are ignored, one-way streets are driven up the wrong way, centre lines are crossed, the car runs on a pavement to avoid a refuse lorry. The car is never seen as the camera seems to be attached below the front bumper, judging from the relative positions of other cars, the visible headlight beam and the final shot when the car is parked in front of kerbstones on モンマルトル, with the famous Cathedral サクレ・クール寺院 behind, and out of shot. Here, the driver gets out and embraces a young blonde woman as bells ring in the background, with the famous backdrop of Paris.
撮影
[編集]Comments from Lelouch prove that the vehicle that carried the camera was his メルセデス・ベンツ 450SEL 6.9.[1] A picture was released of Lelouch working with the gyro stabilized camera on his Mercedes. This model, which could reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph), was only available with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Yet, one can hear gear changes up into 5th, as well as ヒール・アンド・トウ down-shifting with a high-revving engine indicating speeds of well over 200 km/h. Calculations made by several independent groups showed that the car never exceeded 140 km/h (85 mph)[1], while another[2] estimated that the car had peaked at 220 km/h (136.7 mph). Lelouch himself claimed that the top speed achieved was over 200 km/h, somewhere between 230 km/h and 240 km/h.[3]It is suggested that the sound was dubbed with the noise of Lelouch's 275GTB, which has a corresponding number of gears and a similar engine note.
A May 2006 making-of-the-rendezvous documentary[4] indicates that Lelouch himself was the driver, that the car driven was the Mercedes, although the sound track is from a Ferrari. One observer was posted close to the ルーヴル宮 at a blind junction (archway) to assist the driver.

批判
[編集]If the movie was indeed filmed as Lelouch claims, it might indicate a criminally reckless disregard for the life and safety of pedestrians and motorists. Lelouch was arrested after the film's first showing, but later released with no charges.[1]
The distribution of the movie could also be viewed as encouraging thrill-seekers to speed and disregard traffic laws (including red lights), again because of the claim by Lelouch that the movie portrays real live action (and thus is replicable by thrill-seekers), as opposed to cinematographic special effects.
Comments attributed to Lelouch[5] indicate that he acknowledges the moral outrage over his method of shooting this movie as valid. He also states that he was prepared to take the risks in making the movie, but that he however was also ready to drop it in case he would have come across any inconsiderate risk (pedestrian, hurdle, etc.).
Appropriation
[編集]Films that were influenced by C'etait un rendez-vous include:
- Getaway in Stockholm(en)
- ゴーストライダー
- RONIN
- The Run - ニッサン 350Z promotional short film. Filmed on closed streets in Prague, Czech Republic. The video seems to be a clear imitation, including the birds on the roadway, pedestrians and the rendezvous at the end.
- Roman de Gare
The band スノウ・パトロール used the film as the video for their single "Open Your Eyes" from their fourth album Eyes Open.
