- pcthrowaway 1y agoFor fans of Severance, Dieter Rams was likely part of the inspiration for the naming of Dieter Eagan, and several of his industrial designs were featured: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/severance-dieter-rams-braun-vitsoe-2615541 https://news.artnet.com/art-world/severance-dieter-rams-brau...

- dbtc 1y agoI purchased it a while ago and I've watched it twice. It's well made and worth the price.
- diggan 1y agoI know it says "Stream + download anytime", but since stores frequently say "Buy" when they mean "Rent", I feel like I have to ask to clarify... Does the download mean that you get an actual video file downloaded to your computer that you can watch offline? Or is there some Vimeo app that you can only temporarily cache the video in or similar stupid setup? Edit: Thank you everyone for the replies, great to hear it's a proper DRM-free download. Good job Vimeo and producers :)
- vile_wretch 1y agoYep it's a full DRM-free download.
- dbtc 1y ago~6 years ago, I didn't purchase through Vimeo or AppleTV and now I don't see the page where I bought it, but I was able to download an mp4 to keep.
- eichin 1y agoBack in 2018 when this dropped (I backed the kickstarter) I got a code and used it to download an mp4 from vimeo.

- trentnix 1y agoThis documentary is one of my favorites. I’ve probably watched a dozen times over the years. Seeing the Braun designs of yesteryear and hearing Mr. Rams philosophy on design is inspiring and refreshing each time I watch.
- ChrisArchitect 1y agoThis project got some attention in the last year I designed a Dieter Rams-inspired iPhone dock https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41623467 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41623467
- hackyhacky 1y agoThe documentary omitted many import details from his life. For example, it did not mention that the American football team in Los Angeles was named after him.
- diggan 1y agoAs someone who read quite a bit about Rams and what he has done, what football teams are named after him or not would probably go pretty far down on the list of stuff I'd like to know. If anything, this makes the documentary sound even better in my head, as then they haven't wasted run time on useless details that aren't about his philosophy of design or him as a person.
- BlandDuck 1y agoYou may want to look up the words "rams" (plural of "ram") and "humor" in an english dictionary.
- diggan 1y agoI did, and still didn't understand what you were trying to say... For others who also don't have any idea of American sports, apparently there is a American Football team called "Rams" :|
- ChrisArchitect 1y agolol had me for a second
- rglover 1y agoIf you're unfamiliar with Gary's design documentary series, do yourself a favor and buy all of them for a marathon watch. Rams' is one of the best because Dieter is so smart/charming. Had the chance to see the premiere of Gary's doc Urbanized in Detroit a decade or so ago and ask him a question about the music he uses (from the band El Ten Eleven). Really nice guy who deeply cares about his craft.
- hackyhacky 1y agoThe documentary omitted many import details from his life. For example, it did not mention that Random Access Memory was named after him.
- grose 1y agoI was introduced to this documentary through the YouTube clip "Dieter Rams pointing at things he doesn't like" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypyAg3Zbs_8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypyAg3Zbs_8
