you're kidding right?.....not about who makes better quality short films, but about that you are complaining on the message board where this car is highly sought after and now we finally get a chance to see it in motion for 10+minutes? And you are fricking complaining?

LOL. I think he was trying to politely suggest that Mercedes is taking a (copycat) cue from the huge success of BMW films. BMW films in the past have done well in both promoting vehicles and in exhibiting short works of extraordinary directors.

I have to agree. The movie couldn't hold my attention for its entire length. The photography is disappointing, particularly as it applies to the car, and the frame rate is so slow that it's annoying. For those of us who long to see the car in the flesh, this movie is a missed promotional opportunity.
