Children (1976)

Posted on 09:19 by john cena
Essential Viewing
UK
Short Film
Writer/Director: Terence Davies
Cinematographer: William Diver
Cast: Phillip Mawdsley, Robin Hooper, Val Lilley, Nick Stringer, Harry Wright, Phillip Joseph

Davies’s very moving and beautiful ultra-low-budget directorial debut – striking, uncompromising, audacious, and masterful – provides a semi-autobiographical look at a rather miserable childhood, filled with Catholicism, barely-suppressed homosexual longing, school bullying, and domestic violence. Iain.Stott

Followed by Madonna and Child (1980).
