Review of Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988) by Sheila Benson for Los Angeles Times — 01 Jun 2014
Terence Davies' mesmerizing memory film, Distant Voices, Still Lives, becomes its own kind of poetry: taut, referential, inward, brilliant. Although it is set among the unremarkable flats of Liverpool, the place is stamped by Davies' profoundly original vision and sounds; its framing is painterly and deliberate.
And just as you think you have its moves all doped out, a scene of such shocking beauty flashes before you that it takes your breath away.
