Dots, Lines and Zigzags is a fascinating niche documentary that explores the intricacies of visual language and communication. The pacing is a bit meandering, which some might find off-putting, but I think it really works for the subject matter. There’s a raw, almost handmade quality to the visuals, too. You can sense the director’s desire to get into the mind of the viewer and how we interpret symbols. It’s filled with interesting anecdotes and a diverse range of interviews that keep things lively. Not your typical documentary, it takes risks in structure. The atmosphere is contemplative, inviting you to think more deeply about the everyday shapes and lines we often overlook.
