Distant Voices Still Lives (1988)
Country: GB
Technical: col 84m
Director: Terence Davies
Cast: Freda Dowie, Pete Postlethwaite
Synopsis:
A two-part look at the lives, over about a decade, of a Lancashire family in the forties and fifties.
Review:
No conventional period piece this, with few concessions to narrative; rather a series of striking dramatic vignettes, often bitter, with the evening sing-song around a pint the only apparent source of escape.
