Directed by Terence Davies • 1980 • United Kingdom
Starring Terry O’Sullivan, Sheila Raynor, Paul Barber

In the second film of Terence Davies’s autobiographical trilogy of shorts, his alter ego Robert Tucker works an unsatisfying office job, seeking out sexual encounters while being tormented by Catholic guilt and caring for his mother. Suffused with the longing and loneliness of queer outsiderhood, THE TERENCE DAVIES TRILOGY display the impressionistic visual style and piercing emotional sensitivity that would make Davies one of the great cinematic poets of our time.
