I liked "Daimler-Benz Limousine" very much and found the story quite engaging. The plot takes place in independent Poland, but these are the last months before the war. The film focuses its attention on the issue of shaping the aspirations and attitudes of the young brothers Michal Hahn (Michal Bajor) and Andrzej Hahn (Piotr Bajor). In the beginning the youths have still vague ideals and are both immature, but the ensuing events shape their characters. The movie also refers to the well-known German provocation of attacking the radio station in Gliwice. We can find some flaws in this film: the story seems to be a bit far-fetched, 1939 Poland looks too good and affluent, and so quick changes of youths' characters stretch our credibility somewhat. The assets are very strong performances by Michal Bajor and Tadeusz Lomnicki. I also liked the fact that the characters were not black and white. For example, this German consul who was quoting "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann. We have to remember that Thomas Mann was at that time living in America, his son Klaus served in the American army, Marlene Dietrich gave shows to American soldiers, and Fritz Lang directed many anti-fascist movies. And these are just examples taken from thousands of decent people.
