奥古斯都与路易斯·卢米埃兄弟，是现代电影之父，本片就是为了纪念他们而拍摄的，每位受到邀请的导演，都要回答三个问题：为什么你愿意参与拍摄这部影片；为什么你要拍摄电影；电影是否会消亡？每个导演还要用当初卢米埃兄弟制造的世界上最古老的摄影机拍摄一段52秒钟的短片，而且有三个规则：52秒；不能同步录音；不能重复拍三次以上。

1974年金球奖最佳纪录片。本片并非是完整的慕尼黑世运会纪录片，而是八个导演对此世运会观象的综合。八大导从世运会的众多项目中挑选一项自己最感兴趣的的项目，以表达他们自己的想法。在精心挑选和剪辑之下，每一个镜头下的每一个运动员的动作几乎成了导演有意安排下的演出。

The film was shot in a single take, without any special effects or stuntmen, with the director driving the car.

The idea for this film came to Claude Lelouch after hiring a gyro stabilized camera mount for a film he was working on at the time.

While Claude Lelouch refuses to say who the driver was (although believed to be an F1 driver of the time) the car was his own Ferrari 275 GTB.

The film is nine minutes long because the film cartridge in the camera could only hold 10 minutes of film and it was taken in a single shot.

There was no confirmation of who was driving or what car he was driving. Sources variously claim the car to be either a Le Mans Matra 675, Ferrari 275 GTB, or, more recently an Alpine A110.

Lelouch was arrested shortly after the film was screened but was later released without charge.

The route taken in the film is 10.42 km long (6.48 mi). It takes the driver 7:57 to cover that distance, giving him an average speed of 78.64 km/h (48.86 mph).

Un documentaire retraçant toute la filmographie de Claude Lelouch. Pour les 50 ans des Films 13, le cinéaste y dresse un bilan de sa carrière, assumant échecs et succès, et y montre des images inédites...

This Belgian/French tale chronicles the efforts of Jacques (Jacques Brel) to find the Old West in modern America. Dressed as cowboy, he travels throughout western American cities and towns and finds others similarly dressed. These idealists gather together and build an old-western-style town in the middle of an abandoned factory, battling local bureaucracies in the process.
