BMW announces the future of motorcycling with the VISION NEXT 100. BMW has a long history as a motorcycle innovator, from the first use of hydraulically-dampened telescopic forks in 1935 to the innovative telelever front suspension introduced in 1994. But the VISION NEXT 100 promises to take motorcycles to a level of technology previously unheard of. Radical features like gyroscopic self-balancing (yes, the bike balances itself — goodbye, kickstand), emission-less drivetrain, and a variable-stiffness frame that is supple at low speeds and stiffens as the demands of the road and rider increase will turn what was thought possible in a motorcycle on its head. And the best part? The bike is a road-ready proof-of-concept: no CGI or wishful thinking. The hoverboard of motorcycles is here.

The film is so influenced by the style of Stanley Kubrick, it almost plays out as an ode the late directing giant. In this video essay, Candice Drouet edits together scenes from the film and compares them side-by-side to 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining to show the similarities between the films of the two legends.
