If looms and warp turn you onthen this is the film for you!
Review
Meandering film, made for fabric makers telling of the many MANY new technoligical advancements made in the Textile industry. Spread out into 4 long chapters, the narrator just glows about tension, warp, looms and the ilk. It feels unfair to downgrade the movie just because I didn't give a hoot about any new advancements, but honestly, if textile machinery isn't your bag, then I would seriously reccomend that OTHER textile film, Greater Goal: Human Dividends from American Industry.
