A good one-hour take into Dieter Rams's design philosophy with a few historical nuggets for people like me who have only heard of Dieter Rams but not much exposed to his design, his products, and his style. The last 30 minutes derails but Rams the movie is nonetheless fantastic to look at. His house is beautiful. 7 stars.
Plot summary
RAMS is a documentary portrait of legendary designer Dieter Rams by filmmaker Gary Hustwit. For over fifty years, Rams has left an indelible mark on the field of product design with his iconic work at Braun and Vitsoe, and his influence on Apple. So at 86 years old, why does he now regret being a designer? RAMS is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter's philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. The film also features an original score by pioneering musician Brian Eno.

A Good Introduction
A missed chance
I was really looking forward to this film. Sadly it has just the quality of a very superficial feelgood youtube video. For anyone who is familiar with Dieter Rams and his work this film provides no new information or no new perspective on his work.
Simple like him
The movie is simple and enjoyable. It portraited Rams as a smart, lovable and an honest man.
