Richard Brody writes about the death of the British filmmaker Terence Davies, whose œuvre includes “Distant Voices, Still Lives,” “A Quiet Passion,” and “Benediction.”
I had the honor and the pleasure of meeting Davies on several occasions . In person, he was hearty and vigorous, wryly and effervescently humorous, a trait that spilled over into his cinematic taste: he expressed unflagging enthusiasm for classic Hollywood musicals at every chance he got, whether in front of an audience at MOMA, about a decade ago, or in his ballot for the 2022 Sight and Sound poll.
” The world that surrounds Davies’s alter ego in both films—the music and movies, the fashions, the manners, the joys and heartbreaks—is his aesthetic education, and this apprenticeship in style and soulfulness comes largely from women of grand character in constraining circumstances.
