Synopsis

Attachez vos ceintures pour un regard très divertissant, riche en informations et visuellement stupéfiant sous le capot de 35 des voitures et motos les plus indélébiles jamais capturées sur celluloïd. L’Aston Martin DB5 de Goldfinger, la Mustang GT 390 de Bullitt, la Ford Thunderbird 66 décapotable de Thelma & Louise... ces véhicules sont des personnages à part entière, tout aussi élégants et sexy que leurs célèbres protagonistes en chair et en os. Qu’elles volent des scènes, qu’elles sauvent la mise ou qu’elles s’éloignent de Johnny Law dans un nuage de poussière, les voitures et les motos présentées dans ces pages sont la raison pour laquelle beaucoup d’entre nous sont allés - et continuent d’aller - au cinéma. Hommage affectueux aux machines qui ont fait les films, Ride est un ouvrage de collection au design époustouflant et aux opinions audacieuses, rempli d’interviews inédites d’amateurs de voitures célèbres tels que Jay Leno, Stephen King, Michael Bay, la légende du Nascar Jeff Gordon, et bien d’autres encore. Ride raconte les histoires qui se cachent derrière les films les plus célèbres d’Hollywood, comme The Spy Who Loved Me, Mad Max, The Dark Knight, Vanishing Point, Christine, Easy Rider et bien d’autres encore.

À propos de l?auteur

Chad Oppenheim is an internationally renowned architect celebrated for his ability to merge architecture with the natural environment. A Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, he founded Oppenheim Architecture in 1999, with studios in Miami and Basel. In addition to his built works, Oppenheim has contributed to architectural discourse through publications such as LAIR: Radical Homes and Hideouts of Movie Villains, which explores the intersection of film and architecture, revealing his fascination with the narrative potential of design. 

 Oppenheim’s scholarly influence extends to his lectures and teaching, including at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, where he has shared his vision for architecture that transcends aesthetics to foster a profound connection between people and their surroundings. His work continues to shape contemporary architectural thought, focusing on designs that are silent yet powerful, enduring yet attuned to their time.
