The House of Mirth
Terence Davies’s magnificent, faithful adaptation of Edith Wharton’s 1905 novel is a sumptuous triumph. Gillian Anderson’s performance is one of the cinema’s great embodiments of the ironic toll human virtue takes on the body and the soul. Introduced by Michael Barker, Co-President of Sony Pictures Classics.

A Quiet Passion with Cynthia Nixon in person
In Davies’s incandescent and haunting masterwork, Cynthia Nixon delivers a triumphant performance as Emily Dickinson. Nixon embodies the piercing wit, intellectual independence, and personal pathos of the poet, whose genius only came to be recognized after her death. Followed by a conversation with Cynthia Nixon.
Benediction
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.

The Neon Bible
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.
Of Time and the City
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.
Distant Voices, Still Lives
Terence Davies broke through on the international cinema scene after his debut feature stunned audiences at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival. The film illustrates with abstraction, beauty, and occasional horror Davies’s memories of his family in 1950s Liverpool.

The Terence Davies Trilogy
Terence Davies’s first three shorts are among the most accomplished debuts in film history, profoundly personal in theme and with a preternatural grasp of cinematic grammar. Consisting of Children (1976), Madonna and Child (1980), and Death and Transfiguration (1973), the films together form nothing less than the complete scope of a man’s earthly existence, set in the Liverpool of Davies’s youth.

Ivohiboro: The Lost Forest
