Terence Davies blowout!!
For those about to contemplate film, we salute you. Because Terence Davies himself is coming to the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley for a whole series of his films.
Say it with me, people!! "Wind ... erosion."
Here's where I confess that I've only actually seen one Davies film, The Long Day Closes. It's like floating on a cloud -- a big, gray, English cloud -- for 85 minutes. That was all it took. So I can't very well pass up the chance to see that on the big screen again, in the presence of the man himself. But I'd better get across the bay for at least one other movie in the series. Any recommendations?

If I were you Steve, I would not miss this opportunity to go and see ALL his films. In my humble opinion, they are all masterpieces. If you have to see one, I would make it "Distant Voices, Still Lives", which is somewhat in the same vein as "The Long Day Closes". Then I would prioritise "The Terence Davies Trilogy", then "The House of Mirth", and then "The Neon Bible". (I should say that "The Neon Bible" is a visually stunning film, and one of my favourites.)
