Synopsis

New York designer Stefan Sagmeister lives in the city of his dreams, and creates work for the likes of the Rolling Stones and Jay-Z. Business is good, creative juices are flowing, and yet he suspects there must be more to life. Sagmeister takes on the daunting project of changing his personality by trying to figure out the causes of happiness. On the advice of a trusted psychologist Sagmeister experiments with three different approaches: meditation, therapy, and drugs. The Happy Film follows his pursuit, and all that he encounters along the way: joy, ecstasy, heartbreak, change, love, and death.

thelindalam Stefan Sagmeister didn't disappoint with this visually pleasing documentary that has been highly anticipated since I heard of the announcement on Kickstarter in 2011. Being a big Sagmeister fan myself, I've come to know that his ideas are often so brilliant and out of the ordinary and with the film it was consistent and evoked so many emotions. He's so candid with life -- with the raw unfiltered thoughts throughout his journey and experiment, to the hilarious behind the scene snippets behind his life mantras.I never thought I could relate to his story, but I ended up finding a bit of comfort and understanding through his personal experiences, especially when he touched upon love and relationships over the years. I'm definitely eager to see this film again.
connie wood Having guts always works out for Stefan Sagmeister. The Happy Film is engaging, introspective, voyeuristic, truthful, humorous and poetically creative. It is bookmarked for the art history books of the future. A must see for fans of Sagmeister/Walsh and anyone seeking 93 minutes of happiness. Love this film.
oksana-tunikova This is now what you usually watch, and that's why you absolutely need to see it. This movie is so brave and honest and funny. There are plenty of movies about chasing happiness, but this one is different. Don't expect to find simple answers to timeless questions like 'What is happiness' and 'How to become happy' in this movie, but I promise you'll get a hint that will change your life.
danialeman I am a admirer of Sagmeister and saw The Happy Film yesterday evening. I felt really captivated and identified by it.My final project for my university is about leaving behind my obsession for control and start this specific project avoiding it. I am having a lot of spots, imperfections and abstract forms. Then I created a textile collection with all this processes.>Somehow our projects are so different, but so similar at the same time. It really encouraged me to see that I am not the only freak out there experimenting with myself and getting out of my comfort zone due to my own idea. Totally hard and discomforting.... and then you get so much from it.I absolutely loved the film and recommend it to people who want to discover more their personal creativity.
