Finally, I came across the source of those wonderfull “Hire” short films. I’ve had all of episodes, but with a terrible translation into Russian. The translation was such bad in all of them it practically was taking out all the fun.
I am currently downloading all episodes with the English audio track. Now that’s a dream come true. Additionally, there are few more clips, such as “The making of…” and the “Driving techniques”. Now, why didn’t I look for these before?
If you still don’t know what I am talking about, here is a litlte introduction for you. BMW made a number of short films (about 10 minutes each) about these guy, the driver, played by Clive Owen, who is hired to do different jobs that require driving. He does one job using one model of BMW cars in each film. Also, each film is directed by a different director and casts different actors. Excellent cars, amazing driving, and a nice story, all packed into about 10 minutes - these are the BMW’s Hire movies.
