C'était un rendez-vous (Rendezvous)
Dir: Claude Lelouch
1976
*****
The epitome of edge of your seat film making. You've heard the stories, now watch the film. No camera tricks and all one take. Astonishing stuff, not to mention, terrifying! Film making at its most reckless, it is easy to condemn but at the same time it's impossible not to become mesmerised by it. It's certainly a film that could never be made again, and for good reason. It's an example of film making that belongs in its moment and that is something special. The ending it quite lovely but unfortunately Car adverts have abused it ever since.
