A Bit of Culture

Just lost a blog because somehow firefox went down. Oh well.

Just back from Terence Davies Trilogy at NFT. Childhood, bullying, bullying dad, gay sexuality, Catholic guilt, mum etc (a lot of mum). His early black and white stuff. Quite took me back to Liverpool. The use of chiaroscuro, fading diptychs, window frames etc were all much in evidence, so powerfully used in later colour films.Recognised front silhouette of a nun from The Long Day Closes. Not a barrel of laughs but sensitive portayals and a few funny counterpoints.

I am now totally knackered and will go to bed.
