The Long Day Closes (1992)

Posted on 04:56 by john cena
Essential Viewing
UK
Feature Film
Writer/Director: Terence Davies
Cinematographer: Michael Coulter
Composers: Bob Last, Robert Lockhart
Cast: Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates, Anthony Watson, Nicholas Lamont, Ayse Owens, Tina Malone, Jimmy Wilde

Davies‘s stunningly photographed, heartbreakingly performed, and achingly beautiful autobiographical film, an impressionistic look at the life of a quiet, 11-year-old Liverpudlian, contrasting the glamour of Hollywood cinema with the bleak, grey world of 1950s Liverpool, is nothing less than a masterpiece.
