Like so many things in life, Christoph Waltz's relationship with Christmas cannot be described in just a few words. But the new BMW Christmas film, in which the Oscar winner is involved, reflects this ambivalence in an amusing way.
Waltz impersonates himself in the BMW movie. He acts as a “modern Grinch” who absolutely refuses to take part in the annual BMW Christmas party. At the Munich four-cylinder engine, the BMW headquarters, all he really wants to do is meet CEO Oliver Zipse again. But while fleeing from an employee wearing Santa Claus hat, he unintentionally ends up at this very party.
