Of Time and the City 
(UK 2008) Dir: Terence Davies, 73 mins
A heart-stirring meditation on time and memory, the first film in almost a decade from the director of Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988) and The Long Day Closes (1992) is a passionate and poetic love letter to his native city. Images of Liverpool past and present are magically combined with a wonderfully rich selection of music (ranging from Peggy Lee to Mahler, Handel to The Hollies), voices, radio clips, and the director's own voice-over narration. |

The result is a powerful evocation of the director's youth in post-war Britain and a reflection on how his home city - and the world at large - have changed over the years.
