Slow but rewarding

Posted : 10 months, 2 weeks ago at Jan 24 16:45

The Long Day Closes, directed by Terence Davies is a slow affair and carries a still feel throughout the film. The film is part autobiograhical and despite there being not much dialogue or words spoken in this film every thing is described through the imagery, camera angles and carefully selected music for the sound track. It recalls childhood very well. This will definitely not cater to everybodies taste but will be rewarding and thoughtful to those of the right matureity for the film.

Rating : 7/10
