Of Time and the City (2008)

Director:   Terence Davies
Writer:      Terence Davies
Narration: Terence Davies

A filmmaker looks at the history and transformation of his birthplace, Liverpool, England.

It can called either as a documentary or a biography film and is an ode to Liverpool by Terence Davies. It depicts the transformation of the city of Liverpool in the post world war era and is told in sometimes angry and sometimes satirical way. It is put in the overall context of declining English empire and takes us through the phase of "Managed Decline" of Liverpool under Margaret fucking Thatcher and finally to the modern times.

Rating: 4/5
