This evening I watched “Helvetica: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit.” I was, admittedly, rather skeptical about whether I would enjoy a film about a type face; truth be told, I didn’t think it would be particularly interesting. On the contrary, it was one of the best films I’ve seen in some time.
I too loved the film, but I foolishly tried making my wife watch it with me. She got up and went to bed about 15 minutes after it started.
