Terence Davies
Certificate

Running Time
84 mins

A brand spanking new 4K restoration of Terence Davies’s revered, semi-autobiographical, grim-oop-north feature debut from 1988, which uses a series of vignettes to paint a portrait of working class life in 40s and 50s Liverpool, with an outstanding performance by the late Pete Postlethwaite as the violent father.

It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s Terence Davies restrospective season
