Has Anyone Seen the BMW Films?

[lunchbox20]

If you have, please give your thoughts on this film. If you watch the sub-stories for each film, apparently, they explain how all the films are related, but I didn't exactly pick up on that,

I think that they were great. I loved Ang Lee's Chosen and Guy Ritchie's Star . The "films" were great portraits of the contrasting styles of each director. It WAS a commercial that promoted the beautiful BMW's, but those two movies (there were four in total) also had a good story to go with it. (The other two movies werent as captivating, but did display the BMW nicely). I highly recommend it if you have a broadband connection. I believe the site is bmwfilms.com...

I've seen them, but I didn't notice the connection. Ang Lee's flick was excellent and Ritchie's movie was also pretty cool. The other two were mediocre.

I have seen Star and Chosen. Both were very good. I really like the concept of the whole short film thing! Not to mention a brilliant advertising scheme on the part of BMW!

[matisse]

It's a very good marketing concept, and the idea is really good. It would be nice, if these film would be showed as cinema-adds before movies.
Besides, Clive Owen is a very interesting actor. You should check his "Croupier" out.

They're a little much to sell a car. Very pretentious!

I liked the Frankenheimer (sp?) one as well. Madonna was a bit annoying for me. Although it was fun to see her getting tossed around, I don't think she should be portraying British people, because her accent is just repulsive.

I think the connection is just as followed:
Clive Owens
Car Chases
BMW

I haven't heard of anything beyond that.


I don't see the pretention thing. It's a car company. Of course they are going to push the idea that they are the best - they want you to buy their car.
A lot of companies have done short films as promotions. I just can't name any.

POWDER KEG was my favorite, but they were ALL excellent. I think this was an awesome advertising scheme for BMW as well. I'm just wondering how much the entire campaign cost them. Anyway, I loved seeing the difference in all of the director's styles, a great showcase in talent.

Clive Owen would be an awesome James Bond!

Where did you see these films?

[Junior]

Seen everything apart from Powder Keg. It takes too long to download onto my hardrives so I'll wait until it shows on Brovo.

I loved the film Guy Riche did, the chases are kool.

If you check the site [bmwfilms.com] you will find the cable premiere dates.
