Review of Helvetica (2007) by Sam S — 10 Apr 2013
Crazy compelling documentary about one of the simplest subjects ever. The infamous typeface is used as a jumping off point for an exploration of history, perspective, and schools of thought regarding art, design, and expression.
It's somewhat slight (and only touches on certain ideas that could be explored endlessly), but this is not a major fault. There's really no reliance on creative frills, which makes "Helvetica" all the more remarkable for being way more interesting than it should be.
