Terence Davies

This film explores the work of Terence Davies, one of Britain's most distinctive and personal film-makers. In interview and through sequences he has written himself, Davies looks at his past and the themes, ideas and images which haunt him. He uses poems, music and extracts from his films to reflect upon working-class life in Liverpool, the joys of accountancy and Catholicism, and British and American cinema from Diana Dors to Doris Day.
