On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a
gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a ... >all ;
<avascript:void%280%29%22> Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a
professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart
of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the
course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of
Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140
MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights,
nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real
one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was
arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film
went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.
