Am Ende eines langen Tages (1992)

Am Ende eines langen Tages: Directed by Terence Davies. With Marjorie Yates, Leigh McCormack, Anthony Watson, Nicholas Lamont. A lyrical reverie about a young Liverpool boy coming of age in the 1950s among his loving family and the austere Catholic Church as he enters the rigors of school, nurtures a bedazzled love of the movies and longs for companionship.

“A stunning exercise in pure cinema. This is the third and final part of his autobiographical Childhood Trilogy. He uses very a very stylized presentation of snippets of memory (Proust-like) overlaid with snips of movie soundtracks and songs to evoke the emotional content of coming to terms with himself in a loving family (at last). If you have seen Visions of Light, this is what it was all about. There is not a wasted frame in this film. Beautifully conceived jump shots, sound over lays and an overhead tracking jump shot that is simply amazing. If you a looking for a plot line or u0026quot;story tellingu0026quot; you will not find it here. If you are looking for amazingly true and honest cinema that is like moving frames of Vermeer, this is for you.”
