约书亚·菲尔茨·米尔本和瑞安·尼科迪默斯这对老友创立了一项极简主义运动,讲述一切从简如何能让我们的生活变得更好。The film's title was inspired by the popular maxim "Less is more," popularized by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), who used this aphorism to describe his design aesthetic; his tactic was one of arranging the necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity. The Minimalists have reworked this phrase to create a sense of urgency for today's consumer culture: now is the time for less.
