Sinopsis(1)
In this magnificent filmic essay, director Doug Nichol explores the mythology attached to the typewriter, as cultural historians, collectors and various obsessives (including Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCullough and Sam Shepard) celebrate the physicality of the typewriter, both as object and means of summoning the creative spirit. It also movingly documents the struggles of California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. A fascinating combination of history and emotional narrative plunges us into the mysterious, bittersweet moment in which a beloved technology faces extinction and delivers a thought-provoking meditation on the changing dynamic between humans and machines.

I get it. A lot of people, including famous actors, have a fetish for old typewriters. That’s alright, and even the view that the documentary presents is quite good, because it's amazing what you can do with a typewriter, but it didn't make me feel any sort of nostalgic love. But all the power to those who love.
