      Audience Member this is a really interesting documentary focusing on the lost art of of typefacing, specifically with wood blocks. The main location for this is the typeface museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. It's more than a museum, its a living breathing ode to the art, just as this film is. I watched & rewatched this film as something just about it engaged me. The love for the subject is readily evident throughout. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member It's so depressing. :( Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A fascinating look at something we all take for granted. I think I need to visit Wisconsin now. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting documentary about a local small town and their hands on historical museum surrounding printing, specifically wood type. Its what seems to be a dry subject but its told well and you can tell the subjects are passionate about it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
