A film only ostensibly about the designers themselves. This film is about the design of objects, and a way of creating and thinking about design - through images, film, furniture, painting, architecture. The Eameses themselves simply serve as a the frame of this discussion, so that we can evaluate the impacts of their work and the power of design to be joyous and addictive.

Luv Franco but his narration is unbearable. Also def the first time I've seen a doc's closed captions refer to its off-screen narrator by name rather than "narrator". But...C'EST FRANCO!

Lots of great eye candy within. Some pretty snarky commentary is made due to hindsight benefits that are bad form for a documentary, particularly for a subject like this that has potential to be classy.
