Delivering a thought-provoking view on the changing dynamic between humans and machines, director Doug Nichol explores the mythology attached to the classic typewriter, as cultural historians, collectors and various celebrity obsessives (including Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCullough, and Sam Shepard) celebrate the typewriter both as object and means of summoning the creative spirit.
"This unpretentious documentary covers a past icon that still has its lovers: the typewriter. Through interviews with anonymous and famous lovers (including Tom Hanks, a collector of the equipment), the film brings out the reasons for adoration for such an anachronistic equipment in today's world. Recommended for lovers of the charm of the past."
