As the Messy Nessy Chic page explained, the soundtrack was taken from his own car (a Ferrari 275GTB, seen below), whereas the film was shot from a big Mercedes 6.9 sedan. Obviously, the Ferrari had no bumper upon which to mount the camera. ( However, if he'd been driving it, the film would have probably been seven minutes long instead of nine. :-) It was fun seeing what Lelouch was like in his young, wild, and crazy days, though. By that time he'd won one Oscar (for "A Man and a Woman") been nominated for another (for "Toute une vie," released in English as "And Now My Love"), and was probably craving some of the excitement of his earlier Nouvelle Vague days. > For time -travel-sightseeing-tour I prefer Van der Elsken and > his 'Stream-of-Consciousness' photobooks of so many world > location including old one (ha- not gor me)of my beloved > Hongkong and Japan "Van der Elsken explored seedy city > underbellies and rugged backwoods with complete surrender > to his environment." > http://bintphotobooks.blogspot.co.at/2010/04/streetlife-amsterdam-1975-e\ d-van-der.html <http://bintphotobooks.blogspot.co.at/2010/04/streetlife-amsterdam-1975-\ ed-van-der.html> Yup. That's what Amsterdam looked like when I first started going there. Parts of the city still do. :-) > Paris > http://bintphotobooks.blogspot.co.at/2011/10/ah-les-parisiennes-juliette\ -greco.html <http://bintphotobooks.blogspot.co.at/2011/10/ah-les-parisiennes-juliett\ e-greco.html> Paris *doesn't* still look like that. I guess fashions change faster in the city of fashion than they do in the city of hippies. :-)
