Terence Davies' "The Long Day Closes" (1992) is a poignant and lyrical exploration of childhood memories. Set in 1950s Liverpool, the film is a semi-autobiographical account of Davies' own upbringing. It is a slow, contemplative film that relies on mood and atmosphere rather than a traditional narrative. The film's strength lies in its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, with its beautiful cinematography and use of popular songs of the era. Young Leigh McCormack gives an impressive performance as the main character, Bud, capturing the innocence and confusion of childhood with a quiet intensity. While some may find the film's pacing too slow, those with the patience will be rewarded with a moving and deeply personal cinematic experience. Davies' "The Long Day Closes" is a cinematic poem that beautifully captures the fleeting nature of childhood and the bittersweet memories of growing up. © tv-films.co.uk
