Interview Claude Lelouche sur "C'était un rendez vous"

[Couisole94]

Haha le journaliste est une bonne baltringue, il m'a bien fait rire.

[polotek95]

Hi, for this videos Claude lelouche use his car and was a Mercedes 450SEL 6.9L and the noise of the engine it's a Ferrari 275 GTB.

[kevinmrn]

How many takes did he do? :D

[raoooooooz]

If you want a translation pm me [I won't be able to add the subs to the vid though, I'll just reply with the stuff they're saying]

[spythers]

Priceless! The most stunning car action ever!...

[roborapz]

Not a word did I understand but I was glued

to the screen. Subtitles for this would be

greatly appreciated by all us non-french.

[arrielfim]

After watching this, did the police send Lelouch a ticket home for what he did at 5:19? I read somewhere he had trouble after the original C'Etait... even though it was impossible to see who was driving the Mercedes/Ferrari, unlike here.

[FonkyB]

Pour répondre à certains. Oui cela était peut être inconscient mais cela témoigne d'une époque. ce genre de film tu pouvais le faire que dans les années 70. Ces années là c'était le summum de la liberté. Mais aujourdhui impossible, la circulation est bcq plus dense, y'a les couloirs de bus, certaines voies ont changé de sens, y'a des radars partout, les flics aurait été là en 5 min. Et puis c'est marrant on voyage dans le temps, quand on voit tout les détails de Paris qui ont changé

[Ymril]

@FonkyB Je suis tellement d'accord avec toi. Ce film est une ode à la liberté (oui oui). Aujourd'hui sur la route, on est stressé par tout ces putains de radars et par tout les cons qui ne savent pas conduire. A cette époque, il y avait peu de trafic et pas de radars, le paradis. La conduite était alors encore un plaisir. Elle devient aujourd'hui un calvaire pour ceux qui, comme moi, adore conduire.

[FonkyB]

Quelle baltringue le journaliste lool le mec il a peur de quelques petites accélarations d'un gars de plus de 60 ans dans une vieille mercedes!! Regardez à 1:59

[anquetil59]

Lelouch était peut-être inconscient à l'âge où il a tourné ses 10 minutes (sans aucun intérêt cinématographique). Mais qu'en 2006 il persiste et n'aie pas même conscience de la stupidité et du risque de sa conduite passe l'entendement.

Je m'appelle DSK, je viole qui je veux.

Je m'appelle Lelouch, je joue avec la vie des moins que rien.

Normal.

Vous trouvez, vous ?

[danescuserban]

@anquetil59 Je trouve qu ici il n a pas fait quelque chose d inconscient.j aurrais adore de vivre a ce temps la.

[anquetil59]

C'est cela, oui... combien de débiles vont essayer de refaire la même connerie ?

Sacré génie ! Capable de rouler à tombeau ouvert dans Paris, sans que le risque qu'il fait courir au moindre passant, à n'importe quel conducteur qui croiserait sa route ? N'importe quel gamin est capable d'en faire autant.

[riclob77]

Impressionant! L'amour par le cinéma et de conduire... le résultat: un petit film mais trés excitant! Ça donne l'envie de le faire soi même!

[CKS1618]

Il y a UN Lechouch..... Pas deux, pas trois.... UN.

[Sacha06950]

it's a bit approximative but i did the best could...

[Sacha06950]

J « today we are also Lucky ! »

CL : « Here i drived fully speed, i couldn’t honk because my wife could have hear it and it was our signal for her to climb the stairs. Here i speeded up also, then i drifted in the turn… there was the same ambience, the same light it’s incredible !!!.... here I honked. It’s the same light !. I get out of the car, and I run like that... hop hop hop hop... and it happens here »

[Sacha06950]

CL « and I have the same ambience light ! that is amazing… »… « so Here I really speed up because I needed to catch up for lost time… »

Traduction Part 8 :

J « Here your were really anxious because the detour from the original course made you lose 3-4 minutes »

CL « I was really anxious for the film… Here i climbed the road and i was praying not to have any car in the middle of the road… because the film could have ended here cause i had no other possibility than stopped… »

[Sacha06950]

CL : « it’s like a disease, it’s not that i’m late… I am always in advance. »

J : « and there you were supposed to turn right »

CL : « I was supposed to turn right but there was a Truck… look it is here! It’s amazing… and then i told myself what if i don’t have anymore roll (film ?) »

J : « it’s amazing, 30 years after there’s always the truck in the middle of the road. »

[Sacha06950]

Traduction Part 7 :

CL « the value of this movie is to relate a story, if there is not this guy who get out of the car, and who is me from behind, and who meet this woman, it has no sense, it’s a gratuitous act… Which is greatfull in making movie it’s when you relate something, when you give a point of vue. A guy who is late for a rendez-vous can take unnecessary risks not to let the woman wait…"

J : « and you, you are never late for a meeting ? »



[Sacha06950]

Traduction part 6 :

CL : « I couldn’t stop because it was the point of the movie »

J : « How do you proceed with the soundtrack ? »

CL : « I did the same course but with a Ferrari, because i wanted the driver’s fans to feel the engine power and the gear shift. »

J « Was it real that the original movie title was « feu rouge » ?

CL : « No it was not. There are many legends around this movie. The original title was « pour un rendez-vous » ( ??? thought it was « c’était un rendez-vous »)

[Sacha06950]

He didn’t give me any alert so i pass through, but I knew after that his Walkie talkie were out of service !!! »

J « Why did you drive a Mercedes rather than a sport’s car ? »

CL « Only because i needed a car with hydropneumatic ( ?) suspension no to get a trembling picture… »

J «Here you went around this embankment »

CL « yes the red light plus the cars, as you see now, made me do this. »

J « and a bus was arriving infront of you… »

CL « Don’t worry i have visibility »

[Sacha06950]

Traduction Part 5 :

CL « here i use a caution, because it was the only section without visibility. It was the gates of the Louvre. Everywhere before i had visibility, I mean if anything went wrong i would have crashed myself. But here i couldn’t see what was coming from the right or the left, so i asked my assistant Eli Chouraki (Journalist says « at the crossroads of Rue de Rivoli ») to stay there with a walkie talkie and to let me know if i couldn’t pass through the crossroads…

[Sacha06950]

Cl « first because, we decide to make the movie at the real last minute, and then because i wanted do it myself ! I mean, the point was to do it by myself, it was the only point ! »

J : « You wanted to please yourself ? »

CL « Absolutly ! »

[Sacha06950]

J : « So we need to unveil all the mysteries around this movie : who drived the car ? I heard that it was Jackie Icks, Jean-Pierre Beltoise, Jean ragnotti, Jacques Lafitte… but it was just you ? »

CL « It was me. I just do not prouv it to you ? »

J : « Why didn’t you employ a Professional driver ? You have taken unnecessary risks ? »

[Sacha06950]

But obviously I was ready to give up if i had been in front of an extrem danger… I wouldn’t hesitate between anyone’s life and just a movie. But i really didn’t feel any danger from my point of vue »

Traduction Part 4 :

CL « and here we did around 100mph, just here. I pushed the car to its limits in this section »

[Sacha06950]

Traduction Part 3 :

CL « We decide to shoot the movie during the night… »

J : « Really, there were no premeditation ? »

CL « absolutly not. I just told my cinematographer, and my engineer to meet me at « porte dauphine » to make this movie. There was Jacques Lefrançois et Henri Quérol in the car, we were 3. Plus i told them that we will do only 1 shoot ! it may or may not Works. Let’s see if the gods of cinema will be with us or not.

[Sacha06950]

Cl : « and we runned like that all along the… »

J : « Ok, ok I take your word. I watched the movie afew times, so no need to do the remake ! »… « The fact that it was very early in the morning is a part of your character ? The real Lelouche who wakes up every morning at 5am ? »

CL « that is because you have the feeling that the world is yours, I mean, look around, Paris is ours ! »

[Sacha06950]

Traduction : Part 2

CL : « here we are… it’s here. I started very fast here »

J : « It doesn’t work like before »

CL « No it doesn’t . The brakes are not the same… here i speed euh… (while the journalist do the pussy !) No, definitly, it doesn’t curb like before… here I started to speed up, and we did 120mph. But today I can’t run that car so fast… »

J : « Ok, ok no need to try » (Pussy !!) (They both laughing) « we just had our today sensation » (Pussy again)

[Sacha06950]

Traduction: Part 1

Claude Lelouche: "I get out of the car, and I run like that... hop hop hop hop... and it happens here"

Journalist: "do you recognize it"

CL: "yes, it's the same... it's the one"..........."So we put the camera here, and we had a little remote to control the aperture. The Focus was preset to get the maximum depth. We were 3 in the car and we were over-protected. It (the car) had the same color. indeed, it was my personal car. I recognize it… it isn't outdated, isn't it?"

[Kraftwerck]
