Of Time and the City (2008)

Terence Davies uses archive imagery, music, poetry and personal narration to reflect on Liverpool and its transformation.

Davies revisits the city of his childhood through a collage of crowded streets, changing neighbourhoods, religious ceremonies and everyday working-class life. His reflections on family, faith, sexuality and popular culture move between affection, anger, humour and grief as he considers the distance between the Liverpool he knew and the city it became.
