The great days of cinema are not over: they live on in Terence Davies, writes Peter Hoskin

A directive to finish with: go see Of Time and the City. And watch or rewatch Death and Transfiguration; Distant Voices, Still Lives; The Long Day Closes; House of Mirth; and all the others. Are the great days of cinema really over? No. They live on in Terence Davies. And we should celebrate him.

Of Time and the City is released on 31 October. The Terence Davies Trilogy; Distant Voices, Still Lives; and The Long Day Closes are available on DVD from the British Film Institute.
