Of Time And The City

Terence Davies ('The Long Day Closes', 'Distant Voices, Still Lives') directs this highly personal portrait of his native city, Liverpool, and shares his musings on his relationship with the city where he was born and lived until his late twenties. Composed largely of atmospheric archive footage accompanied by Davies's lyrical narration and a melancholy, nostalgic soundtrack, the film seamlessly intersperses Davies's personal memories and experiences with observations about the history and culture of this iconic city.
