Terence Davies is one of those masters of cinema whose films are still struggling to find the audience they deserve. Even such a beautiful literary adaptation like SUNSET SONG (2015) did not make it to cinemas or even blu ray around here (Switzerland, Germany…). However, it is available with English (for those who are put off by the Scottish accents) or French subtitles. Since SUNSET SONG is relatively easily accessible compared to Davies’s autobiographical masterpieces DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES and THE LONG DAY CLOSES, this more conventional narrative serves as an ideal introduction to the cinematic universe of a highly idiosyncratic film maker every cinephile has to know. This video essay was originally made for filmbulletin.ch where you can find a version with German voice over narration. For educational purposes only!
