Set in "a world before Elvis,in a Liverpool before the Beatles",Terence Davies'film "Distant Voices,Still Lives" is an elegiac and intensely autobiographical meditation on a post-war working-class childhood. Paul Farley's study of the film is both a personal response,as a Liverpudlian and as a poet,and an exploration of Davies'unique visual style,blending the spaces - the "short halls,stairways,coal cellars and meter cupboards of northern England" - and sounds - the BBC shipping forecast,a pub sing-a-long,the strains of Vaughan Williams and Britten - of memory.
