In A Man Whose Life Was Full of Woe, Elder draws upon the visionary imagination of William Blake to depict a world that has grown out of touch with the body and the joy at reconciling with our natural being. It is, fittingly, one of his most handmade, personally interior films. Created with a rear-screen optical printer and mattes cut out of construction paper, A Man Whose Life Was Full of Woe has a rough, ecstatic collage quality.
