Filmmaker Terence Davies takes a nostalgic look at his birthplace of Liverpool, England, and explores the phenomenon of childhood memories unrequited by time and progress in this film essay. In addition to serving as an artistic and poetic ode to a Liverpool gone by, the film offers an inimitable perspective of the city through a mixture of archive footage and new shots, evocative music and Davies' poetry-like narration.
Rated NR 1 hour 14 minutes 2008
2.75 stars (Dale-2.5, David-3) OK Cinematography, liked the archival videos, poetry-like narration was OK at times but really irritating at others. Worth the time if you have a connection to Liverpool. Otherwise its a pass.
