Of Time and the City is billed as a love song and a eulogy to Liverpool. A personal, moving and utterly beautiful journey with acclaimed british director Terence Davies (Distant Voices, Still Lives/ Neon Bible and his Trilogy) through archived footage of the city, poetry, music and the vast and astonishing memory of the director himself. It is a response to memory, reflection and the experience of losing a sense of a place as the skyline changes and time takes it toll. This is a testament to a city that has grown up unrecognisably to a new generation. The memories and researched material found provide a magical reference to recent history that has even now been erased from the footsteps of the present.
Watch this and weep, but watch it.
