The Long Day Closes (1992) (TERENCE DAVIES MONTH #4)


Listen Later

Good morning SNOBBIES! And welcome back to our episode on Terence Davies month. This week we have Jared’s pick and he decided to go with “The Long Day Closes.” This film has a similar feel and vibe to Distant Voices, Still Lives. In this film we follow the perspective of Bud, a boy in Liverpool in the 1950’s, coming of age around the other family members and the austere Catholic Church as he enters the rigors of school, nurtures a bedazzled love of the movies and longs for companionship. Jared says this is a near perfect film and Terence Davies best film he’s ever made. We dive into childhoods, favorite shots, the Davies Dissolve, and much much more. Enjoy!
