Set in "a world before Elvis, in a Liverpool before the Beatles",
Terence Davies' film _Distant Voices, Still Lives_ is an elegiac and
intensely autobiographical meditation on a post-War working-class
childhood. Paul Farley's study of the film is both a personal
response, as a Liverpudlian and as a poet, and an exploration of
Davies's unique visual style, blending the spaces-the "short halls,
stairways, coal cellars and meter cupboards of northern England"-and
sounds-the BBC shipping forecast, a pub sing-a-long, the strains of
Vaughan Williams and Britten-of memory.

British Film Institute books are distributed in North America and
Asia by the University of California Press.

Full information about the bookis available online:
