Saturday 14th February 5:30 PM - Theatre By The LakeDistant Voices, Still LivesTerence Davies (1988) UK 85 mins PG‘Pete Postlethwaite is the autocratic, hypnotic patriarch of a post-war Liverpool working-class family. The rest of the family struggle in his shadow. Extraordinarily, they can only express themselves through songs, persistent seams of feeling through the beautifully-realised bleakness. ‘Long, stately shots combine with impassioned performances to create a visual tour de force unmatched elsewhere in British cinema…this film is a masterpiece.’ (Andrew Pulver, The Guardian)
Formally stunning, a masterfully assembled audiovisual requiem.
Desson Howe, Washington Post
