Of Time and the City
Celebrated director Terence Davies takes a trip back to his childhood city of Liverpool in this beautiful and personal documentary, ranked by Time magazine among the top ten films of 2009. At once a joyful remembrance of Davies? childhood home and a eulogy of what is now lost, 'Of Time and the City' marks a triumphant return to filmmaking for Davies after an eight-year absence. Comprising largely of archival footage and photographs set to contemporary and classical music, "Of Time and the City' is more than a documentary, it is a visual poem: a hymn to former glories, a critique of past indulgences and a dreamlike reminder of how you can never return to the perfection of your memories. " Nothing has given me more pleasure..it's mixture of worldliness and innocence make for something sublime" - The Guardian
