DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES
starstarstarstar
Part nostalgia, part nightmare, this autobiographical film is writer-director Terence Davies's bittersweet look back at his working-class upbringing in postwar Liverpool, and one of the most original British films of the 1980s. Davies presents his portrait of a house divided by a near-psychotic father (Pete Postlethwaite) — loving one moment, brutal the next — as a series of haunting impressions rather than a chronological story.
