If 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.
This 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.
I 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 :)
The 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.
As 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.
