OF TIME AND THE CITY is both a love song and a eulogy to the director's birthplace of Liverpool. It is also a response to memory, reflection and the experience of losing a sense of place as the skyline changes and time takes its toll. Terence Davies returns to his native liverpool and to his film making roots to capture a sense of the city today and its influences on him growing up in the late 40s and early 50s...Liverpool's phoenix-like rise is portrayed like it's never been seen before; how a city can change itself and the people under its influence.
