An excellent tribute to the Liverpool of 2008, 25 May 2008
10/10
Author: Graham Williams (perkcentral2004) from Liverpool, England

Well done for making this film which shows excellently how gritty Liverpool was in the 1950's and 1960's.

Of Time and the City is a 2008 documentary film directed by Terence Davies.

The film has Davies recalling his life growing up in Liverpool in the 1950's and 1960's, using newsreel and documentary footage supplemented by his own commentary voice-over and contemporaneous and classical musical soundtracks.

The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival where it received rave reviews.

A must see film for everyone who enjoys real gritty cinema.
