Empire, 11/01/2007, p.62, 3 stars out of 5 -- "The critical chronology of post-War typography is slickly done....It's the insight into the politicization of print that proves most fascinating." Entertainment Weekly, 09/28/2007, p.87, "[Viewers] are in for an exclamation point of joy from such a well-designed doc." -- Grade: A- New York Times, 09/12/2007, p.E6, "[F]ascinating....The film's provocative, lively interviews with graphic designers and theorists...assess Helvetica's impact on human life and thought." Title NoteTheatrical Release: September 12, 2007 Distributor Note"Helvetica" is a feature length independent film about typography, graphic design, and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (that celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. It encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day. Includes 96 minutes of bonus footage and additional interviews. "A thoroughly engaging and gleefully funny investigation into the world's most ubiquitous typeface. One of the wittiest, slyly intelligent and quietly captivating documentaries this year" - Time Out London. "Beautiful cinematography, a kick ass soundtrack, and one quotable interview after another. 'Helvetica' is truly a work of art" - Austin Chronicle. Release NoteDVD Features: DVD Features: Product NotesFrom the New York subways to print ads, the Helvetica typeface has made a sans-serif assault on the world since its creation in 1957.
