Viewing Notes
I had forgotten about these BMW commercials shot as short films by prominent directors until they were blurbed on my TL again. Didn’t realize these were 19 years old! Seriously thought they were maybe 10 years old at most. Damn. I totally remember viewing these back then and what a novel approach it was to promoting the brand. I really like Clive Owen as the driver and would like to see a whole feature film with him. Wild that Tomas Milian is the passenger.
