Re-released in April 2007 as part of a complete retrospective season of Terence Davies's films at BFI Southbank, it was once again showered with critical acclaim.\nThe BFI now makes the film available on DVD for the first time, presented in a beautiful new digital restoration - a fitting showcase for this unforgettable film from one of contemporary cinema's true poets.\nDrawn from his own family memories, Distant Voices, Still Lives is a strikingly intimate portrait of working class life in 1940s and 1950s Liverpool. Focusing on the real-life experiences of his mother, sisters and brother whose lives are thwarted by their brutal, sadistic father (a chilling performance by Pete Postlethwaite), the film shows us beauty and terror in equal measure. Davies uses the traditional family gatherings of births, marriages and deaths to paint a lyrical portrait of family life - of love, grief, and the highs and lows of being human, a 'poetry of the everyday' that is at once deeply autobiographical and universally resonant.\nExtra Features: \n\nFeature commentary by director Terence Davies\nFilmed interview with Terence Davies\nFilmed introduction with Art Director Miki van Zwanenberg\nOriginal trailer\nFully illustrated booklet\n\nUK | 1988 | colour | Optional hard-of-hearing subtitles | 80 minutes | 1.78:1 (16x9 anamorphic) | Region 2 DVD\n      Review      \n'It's a heartbreaking work.
