Wiki.
Bimmer (Russian: Бумер, romanized: Bumer, IPA: [ˈbumʲɪr]) is a 2003 Russian road movie directed by Peter Buslov who co-wrote it with Denis Rodimin. The plot revolves around four friends who get into trouble with the law and flee Moscow in a black BMW (the eponymous "bimmer").
As the gang drives across the Russian landscape, they encounter corruption, violence, poverty, and various situations characterizing the bleakness and challenges of small-town life in post-Soviet Russia.
Considered to be not only a crime drama but also a critique of the policies of Boris Yeltsin, Bimmer depicts the economic crisis that followed Russia's sudden transition to a free market economy, and with it, a lost generation of men who grow up in a world ruled by criminal gangs and corrupt law enforcement.
Despite a modest budget of only $700,000 and a limited cinematic release, Bimmer became a cult classic in Russia, Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe, praised both for its cinematic quality as well as its soundtrack. Both the film and soundtrack have won numerous awards, including the Golden Aries from the Russian Guild of Film Critics.
