Terence Davies has made some of the most innovative, harrowing, and
hauntingly lyrical films of the contemporary era. This is the first
ever book-length study of his work, combining detailed analysis of
all his films with a persuasive and stimulating investigation of
key filmic issues of time and memory, identity and selfhood, and
the nature of literary adaptation, as well as a previously
unpublished interview with Davies himself. The book demonstrates
that Davies's films successfully subvert traditional division
between 'popular' culture and 'art-house' cinema. Gardner explores
not only Davies's debt to social realism, the British Documentary
movement, and Ealing comedies, but equally to the European auteur
tradition and to the great Hollywood musicals and melodramas that
continue to inspire him. It provides fresh insight into the
centrality of music in Davies's work, and into his conviction that
film itself is closer to music than to any other art form. -- .
