The Terence Davies Trilogy

BFM — 40
BFM — 40
La trilogia di Terence Davies [t.l.]
1983: The year we make contact

Ticket
Directed by Terence DaviesItalian title: La trilogia di Terence Davies [t.l.]
United Kingdom / 1983 / 101 min.
Colour / O.V. / Subtitles: it.

Calvario esistenziale di un omosessuale cattolico a Liverpool: 1) Children (con Mawdsley, 1976, 46′); 2) Madonna and Child (con O’Sullivan, 1980, 30′); 3) Death and Transfiguration (con Brambell, 1983, 26′). Nonostante la lunga gestazione (8 anni) e la divisione in 3 capitoli nettamente separati, è un’opera prima compatta, stilisticamente coerente con una rigorosa scelta di austerità che fu paragonata dai critici a quella di Bresson, il raro caso di un film radicalmente autobiografico in cui Terence Davies (1945) si mette a nudo – con dolore e tenerezza – in prima persona senza cadere mai nella trappola dell’autocommiserazione. Realizzato con finanziamenti personali e l’appoggio del British Film Institute, fu presentato al Festival di Edimburgo (1983) e di Locarno (1984), diventando un caso cinematografico internazionale.(ilMorandini, MYmovies.it)
