Description
Hello, Bookstore (PG)
Director: A.B. Zax
Starring: Matthew Tannenbaum, Shawnee Tannenbaum, Sophie Tannenbaum
Documentary | USA | 2022 | 1 hr 26 mins
In an era when someone can impulsively decide to buy Twitter for billions and millions more follow the moments of its timeline, Hello, Bookstore feels like a panacea many people may not have realised they’ve been missing. This heart-warming story is of how the community of Lenox, Massachusetts rallied around their local bookshop to save it from bankruptcy during COVID-19. Viewers are treated to an amazing storyteller, Matthew Tannenbaum, owner of The Bookstore since 1976. It’s not your typical documentary. There’s no narrative here. It is not linear. What we are treated to is a raconteur of the first level musing about his life and raison d’être. The director’s gentle fly-on-the-wall perspective constantly reminds us that all we have ever wanted is in that bookshop.
