Featured review
Hong Kong acclaimed director Wong Kar-wai ("In the Mood for Love", "Happy Together", "Fallen Angels", "Chungking Express") directed this short film about for German car manufacturer BMW (bmwfilms.com). Clive Owen plays a detective on an assignment to follow an actress. Instead of hard-selling the BMWs which we might expect Wong portrays the psyche of the detective in the form of monologue.
This short film is breathtakingly gorgeous (especially the first minute or so). Wong chose to mute the sound of the car and superimpose Silvio Rodriguez's Unicornio, which I think is beautifully done.
WKW has done it again. Definitely check it out if you like to look at beautiful things.
