''Documentary'' is too impersonal a word and ''visual poem'' is too mushy a phrase to describe Of Time and the City, a short, beautiful, characteristically sublime memory piece by the great British auteur Terence Davies.Full Review
It is a deeply personal piece of art that never descends into the confessional or the therapeutic, and a work of social and literary criticism that never lectures or hectors, but rather, with melancholy, tenderness and wit, manages to sing.Full Review
Poetically composed, with marvelous lumps of wit and perspective, Of Times and The City is a masterwork.Full Review
Most of all, Davies proves himself to be a poet of the commonplace whose art is the exalting of the everyday. He may rail against "the British genius for creating the dismal," but his own work is anything but.Full Review
A caustic, witty, regretful elegy for a place so transformed that it's virtually unrecognizable.Full Review
