The Long Day Closes

1992 85 min PG Drama

A magical story about a boy’s love affair with the music and movies of the 50s.

Terry Gilliam’s memory plays Ken Loach in a Liverpool of 1959. A shuttered boy haunts matinees until the flickering gods become his elders, schoolyard fists his daily bruise. That 4:3 Technicolor glow keeps the roof from collapsing.

Directed by Terence Davies · Written by Terence Davies

Starring Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates, Anthony Watson, Nicholas Lamont, Ayse Owens, Tina Malone
