2 Great Wes Anderson-Directed Hyundai Commercials

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors. I love his quirky and strange storytelling-style. Every film he has made is rare in the fact that I enjoy them even more after every time I watch them. I always seem to find something new and different. Even these simple 30-second Hyundai commercials Anderson directed are awesomely entertaining. Watch the commercials below, and tell us what your favorite Anderson movie is, if you have one.

Here are the commercials with a little description for each one from Ad Week:

Modern Life shows a mother delaying re-entry into the insanity of her home by relaxing in her luxurious Hyundai, is a bit less telltale Anderson but still uses enough of the auteur's signature camera movements, '70s-tinged art direction, and painstakingly controlled chaos to place it a step above your average car ad. While Anderson's Oscar-watching fans will see the spots as a clear wink to film buffs, they're not so esoteric that they won't hold up for months after the final award is handed out.

In Talk to My Car, the nostalgia-happy Anderson hypes the 2012 Azera's "bluelink" technology via a pastiche of pop culture's most famous voice-responsive vehicles (there's a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang-esque flying contraption, an underwater car straight out of The Spy Who Loved Me, and a take on Knight Rider's KITT) plus a heavy bit of personal touch (there's enough corny visual effects and obsessive symmetry to make your head explode). Bluelink doesn't actually allow your car to shoot through space, but it does let you make a dinner reservation by simply asking.
