C'était un Rendezvous

[thearcticsea]

Anyone seen this film? Any of you older dudes remember when it was released back in the 70's? Just wondering. Wrote a little article on it and was looking for some opinions.

I've seen this before but can't for the life of me remember where, classic.

Too artsy-fartsy for me I'm afraid.

I don't like many films these days. Whenever I see a new film I just feel like I've seen it all before. I have discovered that I like "artsy-fartsy" films where nothing happens. As long as there is a beautiful French woman in there I am happy. This film looks like something I would like!

It ends with the girl

 

[thearcticsea]

I'm sorry, but the girl, while beautiful, is Swedish.

She was a semifinallist in the Miss World pageant though?

Will that do?

It will do nicely.

Great thread. Great soundtrack.

Having ridden in Paris, I really enjoyed this film. French bikers, especially those into machinery such as ours, have a certain coolness and the whole scene is very interesting.

Thanks,

Monty

Hey LMT, I wasn't born when that movie came out (sorry) but I know it's written and directed by Claude Lelouch, the same guy responsible for Rendezvous.

Is it good? Should I watch it?

 

[JimmyR]

I love the old films of Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut. They are my kind of films. This was a good one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_to_the_Gallows

FYI guys- The people at Spirit Level Films have contacted me and are offering visitors to my site 30% off the price of any of their products when you use a coupon code.

This discount will go live in the next couple of days. So if you're interested in buying the DVD or Blu Ray of Rendezvous now would be the time to do so.

They also have a lot of other really excellent motorsport and other interest films, such as the Stallion and the Cobra, the story of Carroll Shelby and Enzo Ferrari's famous rivalry, and the classic LeMans.

I should say I get nothing for this. I'm just giving the people here a heads up because this site is my number one stop online and a lot of Spirit Level Films' products are relevant to our interests. Also, 30% is a pretty substantial discount!

I'll post the article link when I get it posted and the coupon code is active. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Discount is up. I bought LeMans finally. I've never seen this Steve McQueen movie, but everyone talks about it.

boy are you in for a treat :snack:

 

[Trebo]

Wow. Incredibly Reckless. Incredibly Inconsiderate. Incredibly Selfish. Incredibly Lucky.

But I can't stop watching it. Incredibly Artistic as well. Thanks.

Pretentious. I would have enjoyed it just as much if he hadn't gone so fast. What a dick.

I don't think I watched the same one.

 

[thearcticsea]

I think he may have watched the annoying video someone else posted with the bald blowhard retracing the route and talking too much.

 

[JimmyR]

Hey I never made a video when I did that! Did someone else copy me??

Sorry guys but I just think it was pretentious 70s macho crap. I like loud cars/bikes as much as the rest of you but if the guy making this didn't make sure the route was safe then he's a dick. What would you all be saying about this film if he had hit someone while filming it?
