The Long Day Closes
Terence Davies
Synopsis
Bud is a lonely and quiet boy whose moments of solace occur when he sits in rapture at the local cinema, watching towering and iconic figures on the movie screen. The movies give Bud the strength to get through another day as he deals with his oppressive school environment and his burgeoning homosexuality.
Cinematic DNA
I love films like Terence Davies's The Long Day Closes because it's so evocative of memory, and it makes you feel something about the time and the place.
