The Long Day Closes

THE LONG DAY CLOSES is the last of Terence Davies' outstanding autobiographical films exploring his childhood in '50s Liverpool. Following on from the DISTANT VOICES and STILL LIVES, the film follows Bud, an 11 year-old working-class lad on the cusp of adolescence. Having grown-up in the security of a loving family, Bud's idyll is challenged when he moves school. Suddenly the cocoon of his past is shattered as he tries to adapt to the challenges of his new academic environment.
He escapes into a fantasy life fuelled by the glamour of the cinema and romance of the soundtrack of the era. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)
