Jan 28, 2014 · Only "The Long Day Closes" would do. I sought out the old tape I had made from TV some years ago, and again it worked its enchantment. It too is about to wear out and the sound quality is poor. A pity neither of these great works is available on Region 1 DVD. They both soar over all the other Christmas-appropriate films.

I admittedly threw the subtitles on because I had issues with a few accents but this is something inherent in the recordings and nothing to do with the presentation, which is otherwise sharp and clear. Music is especially impr...
Criterion puts together a nice little special edition here, starting with an audio commentarywith director Terrence Davies and director of photography Michael Coulter, which was actually recorded for a 2007 UK DVD edition. I’m not familiar with Davies so I wasn’t sure what to expect from the commentary after viewing his film. I was surprised by how...
