[@marshmarshall4619]

What a wonderful filmaker he was - One of Britain's best and always will be - RIP Terence - Your work will always live on...

Both distant voices and the long day closes films should have been up for academy awards in my opinion

[@ZacandDora]

What a sweetheart. Remarkable man.

I love that the interview makes a point to show how funny Terrence is…because there’s such great humor in his films.

What empathy and then able to transfer it to film....amazing guy with huge enthusiasm for his craft. Uncanny ability to replicate atmosphere and emotion.

[@nagatom]

The British filmmaker equal to all the greats.

This man is brilliant and his directing is brilliant! Seen "The House of Mirth" anyone, among many others? I rest my case.

[@rosbiffy]

What a fascinating interview! Terence Davies is very interesting about his process of incorporating memory into Distant Voices, Still Lives.

Terrence Davies is a cinematic genius and a national treasure; he should be given a knighthood

[@garyfaulkner1480]

Fabulous man

Thanks for posting this. I did not realise the film was autobigraphical to that extent.
Many scenes are hard to watch without puddling up.

That's Kensington, Liverpool for you.
If you thought it was bad then...

The film is great, but I think The Long Day Closes is even better. Is there another filmmaker whose work is as Proustian?
