The Films That Shaped It

The Terence Davies Trilogy (, collects the shorts

1984

And then in the UK, obviously Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, but also Terence Davies, who is more of a poet. I remember seeing Distant Voices, Still Lives and also his trilogy of shorts [Children, Madonna and Child, Death and Transfiguration] when I was very young, and being deeply moved by them. I was very touched by his subjectivity, the way he uses memory. It’s a very intimate kind of cinema, a very spiritual kind of cinema that can touch you very deeply.
