A collection of films by Liverpudlian filmmaker Terence Davies. 'The Terence Davies Trilogy' comprises three short films: 'Children' (1976), 'Madonna and the Child' (1980) and 'Death and Transfiguration' (1983). Taken together, the three films trace the life of Robert Tucker, the director's alter ego, from childhood to the grave. 'Distant Voices, Still Lives' (1988) looks back on Davies's working class upbringing in post-war Liverpool. Told in flashback, the films begins and ends with family weddings, held several years apart, and is scored with songs from the period. 'The Long Day Closes' (1992) traces moments in the childhood of Bud (Leigh McCormack), a Liverpudlian schoolboy in 1955.

About this product

Product Information

British director and screenwriter Terence Davies is noted for his highly personal and often autobiographical chronicles of British working class and the struggles they face in the post-WWII world. He first gained recognition for his TERENCE DAVIES TRILOGY (1976-1983), which is comprised of three black-and-white religious-themed short chronicles of daily life. The TRILOGY is included in this collection, along with Davies' later works DISTANT VOICES STILL LIVES (1988), THE LONG DAY CLOSES (1992), and OF TIME AND CITY (2008).

    We have not watched any of the DVDs yet, as it is a Christmas present for my husband, who was brought up in the are Terence Davies talks about. It has been recommended by friends, so confident it will be 5*

    This boxed-set is a collection of social history of the post-war through to the 60s. Fabulous ... should be compulsive viewing for the ‘millenniums’ who think ‘boomers’ had everything 😉
