El cineasta británico Terence Davies, más conocido por un par de efusivas y poderosas películas inspiradas en su niñez en el Liverpool de la posguerra, murió a los 77 años.
El manager de Davies, John Taylor, dijo que el director murió el sábado “pacíficamente en casa mientras dormía” después de una breve enfermedad. Criado en una gran familia católica de clase trabajadora en el puerto inglés, Davies fue dependiente en una oficina de envíos y contador en una firma de contabilidad antes de inscribirse en una escuela de arte dramático en la ciudad de Coventry y después en la Escuela Nacional de Cine.
Davies la continuó en 1992 con otra película autobiográfica, “The Long Day Closes”, y después regresó a Liverpool con “Of Time and the City”, un documental de 2008. Michael Koresky, autor de un libro sobre Davies, dijo que las dos participaciones autobiográficas del director “son melancólicas, en ocasiones desgarradoras, y también son indescriptiblemente hermosas, dos de las grandes obras en la historia del cine”.
