DlSTANT VOICES, STILL LlVES
A film by Terence Davies
Winner of the InternationaI Critics' Prize, Cannes 1988.
Terence Davies's stunning debut feature fiIm Distant Voices, Still Lives was instantly recognised as a masterpiece on its release in 1988 and the director haiIed as one of Britain's most gifted and remarkable filmmakers. Re-reIeased in April 2007 as part of a compIete retrospective season of Terence Davies's films at BFI Southbank, it was once again showered with criticaI accIaim.
The BFl now makes the film avaiIabIe on DVD for the first time, presented in a beautiful new digital restoration - a fitting showcase for this unforgettabIe film from one of contemporary cinema's true poets.
Drawn from his own famiIy memories, Distant Voices, Still Lives is a strikingIy intimate portrait of working cIass Iife in 1940s and 1950s LiverpooI. Focusing on the reaI-Iife experiences of his mother, sisters and brother whose lives are thwarted by their brutaI, sadistic father (a chiIling performance by Pete PostIethwaite), the fiIm shows us beauty and terror in equal measure. Davies uses the traditionaI family gatherings of births, marriages and deaths to paint a lyrical portrait of family life - of love, grief, and the highs and lows of being human, a 'poetry of the everyday' that is at once deepIy autobiographicaI and universaIly resonant.
