There are some stunning pencil drawings here as the short poem by Earle Birney is etched out before us. It’s soundtracked to sound like an Hollywood movie about Imperial Rome and it’s the work of the carpenter that’s illustrated as his carefully crafted work is used by others to inflict the maximum amount of suffering on another carpenter as well as presenting us with illustrations of other tools that mankind has developed for the sole purpose of killing ourselves. The narration of the poem is subtle and quite effective and frankly it’s quite a gorgeous short film just to look and listen to.
