‘A playful paean to creative freedom and collaborative spirit. The sort of self-indulgent yet irresistible endeavour that you would only find on dear old BBC Four’ - The Telegraph
★★★★☆
A truly unique documentary presented by Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves), in which a group of art students experience a taste of life in the Bauhaus.
This inventive film challenges six students to undertake a series of artistic tasks, in an immersive experiment designed to teach them the principles of the Bauhaus school. Led each day by a contemporary artist or designer at the top of their field, they learn what made the Bauhaus school so revolutionary. From breathing exercises, to parties, to somewhat unappetising meals, they also experience the day to day realities of life in the Bauhaus.
Jim Moir is the students’ guide, bringing his trademark surreal humour, and artistic talent to the experiment. Through watching the students grapple with the rules of the Bauhaus, we learn about this radical artistic movement in ways that are playful, immediate and always unexpected.
