Slovenski opis filma:

Klasiki britanskega filma: Lirična avtobiografija T. Daviesa o odraščanju v Liverpoolu je ljubezenska pesem sedmi umetnosti. Mojstrovina sodobnega britanskega filma nas popelje na intimno potovanje skozi spomin, družinsko zgodovino, sanjarjenje in hrepenenje osamljenega dečka v proletarskem okolju Liverpoola v 50. letih. Občutljivi fant Bud odrašča v ljubeči družini, kjer si življenje v mizernem okolju lepšajo s skupnim petjem in skrbjo za drugega. A svetu pred pragom njihove hiše vlada brezup. Proletarski vsakdan, stroga katoliška vzgoja, ustrahovanje v šoli, pomanjkanje navdiha, kulture in umetnosti v občutljivem Budu vzbujajo strašne občutke osamljenosti, melanholije in koprnenja po drugačnem svetu. Slabo počutje premaguje z rednim obiskovanjem lokalnega kinematografa. Izvirni naslov: / Britanski film, 1992 / Režija: Terence Davies / Igrajo: Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates, Anthony Watson

Originalni opis filma:

The Long Day Closes is the story of eleven-year-old "Bud." A sad and lonely boy, Bud struggles through his days. With cinema as his main source of solace, he haunts the local movie-house. All the while, his family looms large in our peripheral vision as do the menacing bullies of his school, but Bud is the center of attention both from the camera's angle and from his doting family. With a gray background, the film fuses clips and audio from classic movies into Bud's dreary childhood and brings it to life with an elegance Bach would bring to your home movies. The overall effect is a montage of memory which seems to ignite flashes of recognition in the viewer.
