Hello, Bookstore, a film by A.B. Zax

[kathleen_dailey]

I caught this doc by accident, and I'm so happy that I did. It's the story of an independent bookstore in Lenox, Massachusetts, its semi-superannuated hippie owner and high priest, and its pandemic-era struggle to survive. (Spoiler: It does.) It's charming and moving, and you can watch it on the TVO site here.

The film made me think of the Nicholas Hoare bookshop on Front Street East in Toronto, the loss of which I'll probably never get over.

Variety has a lovely synopsis and review.
