Terence Davies’ THE LONG DAY CLOSES (1992) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
December 13 : 5:00 pm – 6:45 pm
LOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge.
“The exacting textures and delicate moods, sustained in heavenly beams of light and the reflection of warm memories, gives the film a glow I’ve never seen in another film.” – Sean Axmaker
Three years ago, the world lost one of its finest filmmakers when British auteur Terence Davies shuffled off this mortal coil. A director of intense passion, Davies’ work is suffused with melancholy, enchantment, and the sheer transportive power of cinema. In The Long Day Closes, Davies immaculately recreates his own childhood, rendering 1950s Liverpool as seen through the eyes of a quiet, lonely boy. With sumptuous, lyrical virtuosity, the film jumps in and out of time, swoops into fantasies and fears, richly evocative portrait of the artist as a young man filled with music, movies, and memory. Oh…and it’s also kind of a Christmas movie—a film of jaundiced nostalgia that serves as a high-art answer from across the pond to A Christmas Story‘s good-humored yuletide Americana.
