The Stranger

From the man behind 2007's beloved Helvetica—a history of and love letter to a font—comes another sharp, brainy documentary obsessed with design. In Objectified, filmmaker Gary Hustwit takes a kaleidoscopic view of industrial design, from interviews with design superstars to biographies of objects that set the world on fire (the iPod! The Dirt Devil! The Braun toothbrush!) to inquiries into the meaning, purpose, and dangers of our object-drenched planet. (Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 829-7863. 7 and 9 pm, $9.) by David Schmader
