Episode 11 - Filmmaker Terence Davies Interview
From Andy Moore | Part of the Andy's Treasure Trove series | 37:10
Andy Moore's interview with British actor, writer and director Terence Davies. Andy talks to Davies about the 1992 film The Long Day Closes, a beautiful film centering on the favorite time of Davies' childhood between the time his abusive father died and the family could relax a little, and the onset of his own highly fraught adolescence. Though gay, Davies wishes he wasn't because it's only brought him harassment and lonliness.
Episode 11 starts with two potential theme songs for Andy's Treasure Trove submitted by listener and friend David Lisle, followed by Andy's interview with British actor, writer and director Terence Davies. Born in 1945 in Liverpool, England, Terence Davies was the youngest of 10 children in a Catholic working-class family who suffered with an abusive father, bullies at school, the abuses of the Catholic Church and his own legendary self-loathing for being gay. After a shut-down adolescence he spent years as an accountant. He got into acting and then writing and filmmaking. His first 3 short films made in the 1980’s entitled Children, Madonna and Child, and Death and Transfiguration later became known as The Terence Davies Trilogy . They were semi-autobiographical glimpses into the harrowing life of torment experienced by Davies in post-WWII Liverpool. In his first feature film, 1988’s Distant Voices, Still Lives , the family again lives in the shadow of a monstrously abusive father, this time played by the great British character actor Pete Postlethwaite , whom Davies says is the only actor to play a member of his family who actually looked like the person they were portraying.
