“Poetically composed, with marvelous lumps of wit and perspective, Of Time and The City is a masterwork." —The Hollywood Reporter
This extremely personal love letter to Liverpool, the city of Davies’ birth, draws on archival footage and Davies’ hyper-literate, delightfully droll narration on everything from childhood and religion, to sex, art, memory, and the Beatles. The result is a highly subjective meditation on the passage of time—at once a celebration of Liverpool’s history and a lamentation for a city he no longer recognizes.
