The Chinese Typewriter
The Chinese Typewriter is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1978, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
The Chinese Typewriter is about education and language, and the way a society is shaped by them. Exemplifies the politically committed film that defies the strict rubric of avant-garde. Barnett seems less interested in challenging traditional form than in exploding his own occidental vision. -- Gregory Solman
