Sunset Song Sunset Song

Terence Davies / United Kingdom / 2015 / 135 min / English

The visually stunning drama of epic proportions centres on human dependence on nature and the repressive role of women in early twentieth century.

The landscape of Aberdeen is as beautiful as the work in the fields is hard. Young woman Chris suffers under her tyrant of a father. She really wants to leave the family farm behind to become a teacher. But then she marries Ewan and decides to stay. WW I looms, Ewan has to join the Army. Chris stays behind on the farm, fighting for her independence. A cinematic adaptation of the first part of A Scots Quair trilogy by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.

"I want my viewer to believe that I've tried to tell the truth. That may be a boring truth, because I am not everybody's cup of tea, I'm an acquired taste. /.../ I made my film with my heart. All I ask is that someone watches it with theirs, and if they don't like it, then they must say it."
(Terence Davies)

Terence Davies
Born in Liverpool in 1945. Put on the cinematic map as one of the most original British film-makers of the late 20th century by The Trilogy, three cinematic reconstructions of his youth in a working-class district of Liverpool, traumatised by his violent and unpredictable father, and his homosexuality. Initially tending towards autobiographical subjects, Davies has recently favoured adaptations of literary works.

A found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements. Drawing from the debris of Romania’s long transition period, the film speaks about love and death, the human body and its frailty, the natural and the supernatural and of course, socialism and capitalism.
