David Wellington: The Carpenter (1988)

 



Bizarrely unconnected story lines, in parts dreamlike.
A female and male psycho meet.
The undead male is ludicrously connected to a house.
The abused female comes directly out of a mental institution.
In a part also love story with a feminist twist. 
Maybe a film about editing living bodies with tools. 
Or it simply adds another reason why anyone hates to have craftsman in the house.

First feature film with a masterly and almost idiotically overachieving camerawork by the now famous David Franco.
Worthy of watching it mainly for this reason.
