5.0 out of 5 stars A Private Masterpiece, October 2, 2010

This review is from: Of Time and The City (DVD)

First I rented, then I bought. There is nothing like this film anywhere. Just sit back, watch and listen to a world, not at all beautiful, but achingly poignant.

I only wish I had seen the film before my brief time there while on a tour of Britain; the visit would have been much more meaningful.

Unique, precious film footage set to heavenly music. And the comments only add to the sincerity of the effort.

I am biased because I love the films of Terence Davies, even as I realize they are not for everyone. That is the point, really: his work is a direct reflection of his sensibility, and you either see that and identify with it or you don't. The reviewers who complain that this is not an objective, by-the-book documentary are missing the point entirely. As Davies explains in one of the interviews, this is a personal work that developed in its own time and fashion. It does not rely on chronology or any standard organizing principle. For that reason Davies and the rest of the filmmaking team refer to the film as more of a poem, and so it is.
