So, 'Phaidon - Publishers In Exile' dives deep into the history of the Phaidon Press, which, by the way, was founded back in 1923 by Béla Horovitz in Vienna. The film has this understated tone, almost reflective, with a pacing that feels quite deliberate. It captures the trials of the press during times of upheaval, showcasing how they navigated being in exile. The archival footage has a raw quality that adds to the authenticity, and there are some interesting interviews that give real insight into their resilience. It’s not flashy or overly dramatized, but it definitely conveys the weight of the themes surrounding art, culture, and survival amidst adversity.
