Terence Davies Trilogy

Directed by : Terence Davies

Part 1 The theme is violence - social and domestic - and its effect on the main character Robert Tucker. It is told in a series of extended flashbacks and reveals incidents from his childhood. The film ends with a memory - the death of his father and the boy appears to be trapped in his sexuality and his childhood.

Part 2 - It is a film about the conflict between Catholicism and sexuality. A severe and intimate portrait of Robert Tucker in middle age who is trapped in his private and public personnae.

Part 3 - Part three completes the story in more ways than being merely the final installment. It is a summing up of Tucker`s life and his attitudes towards the remembered events of his life and his coming to terms with his mortality.
