A couple weeks ago we posted an interview with Phoenix’s Thomas Mars in which the singer discussed the far-flung influences on the band’s latest record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Among the varied sources from film and literature was the short film C’était un Rendez-vous. As huge fans ourselves, we thought we’d post Claude Lelouch’s 1976 short separately to make sure everyone could check out this lost classic. Mars succinctly describes the film as a “really dangerous drive,” depicting a law-shattering, first-person thrill ride at dawn aboard a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL. Are we watching a high-speed chase between cops and robbers through the streets of Paris? Or merely a daredevil tour of the city’s most beloved landmarks? We’ll let you find out for yourself.
