‘Invited to make a film to mark Liverpool's status as European Capital of Culture, Britain's greatest living filmmaker has responded with a visual poem, in his own words 'not just a film about Liverpool, but a way of dealing with all those things which are important to me: the nature of time, the nature of mortality and the transience of life.' OF TIME is a wonderful mix of past and present, a lyrical collage of archive footage of Liverpool and the surrounding area intercut with newly filmed sequences. A heartfelt and highly personal journey into memories of the recent past…an engaging and deeply moving work of art.’ Sandra Hebron (British Film Institute) From the renowned director of DISTANT VOICES STILL LIVES, THE LONG DAY CLOSES, and THE HOUSE OF MIRTH.


Invité à faire un film pour marquer l'accession de Liverpool au statut de Capitale culturelle européenne, le plus grand cinéaste britannique vivant a répondu par un poème visuel, "non pas seulement un film sur Liverpool, mais une façon de traiter les thèmes qui m'importent : la nature du temps, de la mortalité; et la brièveté de la vie. OF TIME est un mélange merveilleux de passé et de présent, un collage lyrique de films d'archives et de séquences nouvellement tournées sur Liverpool et ses environs.
