In Easy Pizza Riders, an urban spoof western where people would kill for a pair of silver Reebok, the beloved French youth culture of the time is on full display: sneakers, pizza delivery, fish eye lenses, funk music. Shot when Gavras was only 21 years old, with a modest video camera, the short announces his unique talent for crafting imaginative, stylish, thrilling film sequences and for capturing era-defining moments.
