Your comment about Paris reminded me of this short film (8 mins) of the view from the front end of a car as it races through Paris in the early morning hours.

“The film is by Claude Lelouch - entitled C’était un rendez-vous - in 1976. He drove the car....The car is a 450SEL 6.9 Merc 5 speed [Ferrari sound effects dubbed in later]. It was filmed with a Rolliflex Andetta Aviator Mk2 Camera fixed on an oil-buffeted rest tripod to the front of the grill. It is a classic late piece of Cinéma vérité. Rumour has it that Claude was arrested by the CRS shortly after completion. The girl is Gunilla Friden. It is one of the best films ever made.”
So did Cool Hand Luke.
The United States Of America.
Not some Totalitarian Euro socialist style Balkanized mish mosh of squabbling states and territories.
Very good.
