Rams - a documentary

April 11, 2020 10:37 AM

Filmmaker Gary Hustwit (Helvetica) is streaming his documentaries free worldwide during the global COVID-19 crisis. Each Tuesday a different film is posted. This week's is Rams, on the life and philosophy of Dieter Rams. Soundtrack by Brian Eno. Via Kottke.

It's only available for a limited time but I though folks would like to get a chance to see it.

Aw shit, missed Objectified and Urbanized! Maybe they'll come around again.

Watched it last night on the Vimeo app on my AppleTV!

Love his hillside Japanese teien-inspired retreat w/ pool.

I have an odd plan to stock my future Cybertruck RV conversion with as many best-in-class appliances as possible, LOL, to live a compact but convenient life out in nature...

Rams' minimalist esthetic is applicable here!

As a Rams nut and a Citroën owner, I would have sworn he’d have a grey 2CV, but alas.
