You are talking about Claude Lelouch's famous 9-minute long
"Rendezvous" movie where Lelouch borrowed a friends Ferrari, strapped a
camera on the front and took a high speed drive through the streets of
Paris at daybreak:

I first saw that in 1978 in a theater as a prequel to The Muppet Movie
of all things. If you think it's impressive as a web download you
should see it on the big screen!

It is out of print in the USA. Amazon has a DVD for $65.00 in their
zShops and a tape for $139.95. However they are marking it up big-time
since the DVD is only #14.99 in England and they will ship to the USA:
