It's great that there is finally an official internet forum to discuss the work of Terence Davies! Up until now, the only place to discuss his work on the internet has been the imdb pages. 

2008 has been something of a golden year for fans of his work, with the making and release of "Of Time and the City", and the DVD release of "The Long Day Closes" and the Trilogy.  I saw "Of Time..." at the Edinburgh film festival earlier this year and absolutely loved it, and will definitely be going to see it again when it goes on general release.  It such a moving, and such a beautiful film in so many ways.  But I also found in interesting for the insight it offered into the flexibilty of TD's style. 

People have commented on the fact that whereas his films are known for their carefully composed images, in "Of Time..." he is working mainly with other peoples' far less controlled footage.  But two other things I found interesting about the film - considered as a TD film - was its use of contemporary footage, and its occasional use of quick cutting.  There is a fabulous sideways-on tracking shot in the film that seems to sweep us through the whole of contemporary Liverpool, to the sound of TD's voice, which is comparable to certain shots in his earlier Liverpool films.  And there is some rather quick cutting in the section on the coronation: if I remember, a very quick cut to and then away from a shot of the Queen introduces us to that section of the film - a stylistic choice that seems to fit the sequence's (rightly) angry tone.

Anyway, that's just a few thoughts I had on first viewing.

Loved the movie, made me laugh,made me cry .I had forgotten so much of my childhood ,thanks for the chance to relive it again.I will have to see more of Terrences' work!
