Davies’s first film after an eight-year hiatus following The House of Mirth was his sole feature documentary, an archival-rich yet typically personal rumination on place and time. Autobiographical elements are fused with evocative, inescapably haunting images (still and moving) of Liverpool as it changed and mutated over Davies's life.
Based on John Kennedy Toole’s celebrated Depression-era novel, The Neon Bible is Davies’s first American film, yet still fully of a piece with his nostalgia-suffused filmography. David is a young man growing up in a small Southern Bible Belt town in the 1940s. When his aunt Mae (Gena Rowlands) a former club singer, comes to stay in the threadbare home he shares with his parents, she soon becomes his sole companion.
In this aching, unorthodox historical drama, Davies tells the story of the pacifist poet and veteran Siegfried Sassoon, whose experiences fighting in the First World War forever transformed him.
In Davies’s incandescent and haunting masterwork, Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson.

An adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's classic 1932 Scottish novel, Sunset Song is at once a quintessentially Davies meditation on family and the past, and his most pictorially ravishing work.

Hollywood self-parodies are a dime a dozen, but Ben Stiller’s pleasingly tasteless takedown of the industry—from egomaniacal actors to grotesque producers to the clichéd big-budget products themselves—is a riotous pleasure throughout.
