Most of it is in German. so i had to read subtitles. there is an English version, but (at least for now), it's not free. (I'm not complaining, I'm letting you all know)

It was mostly about the man, and less about his work. i would've preferred the reverse. of course, it's on the label...

I liked it, but i didn't love it. I'm gonna watch it again on a PC (instead of Chromecasting to my TV, and maybe in English) and screenshot the products that caught my eye.

There are other docus about him, too.

I would argue for biographical format the movie takes. Rams’ design is this foundation for what now represents an aspirational aesthetic. The design is not faceless, but it aims to be invisible.

Having a glimpse of the individual and his philosophies gives insight into how he made those decisions. It also gives a sense of the forces that working against him.

At the beginning of the film, he took a question from an aspiring industrial designer about overcoming mediocrity. Rams’ response was about surrounding oneself with people who see themselves as striving to be better. Obviously, this statement is portable to beyond just design.
