In stark black and white, Terence Davies excavates the life of his fictional alter ego, Robert Tucker, in a narrative that slips between childhood, middle age and death, shaping the raw materials of his own life into a rich tapestry of experiences and impressions. Over the course of these three films, we witness the emergence of Davies’ singular talent and style, the refinement of his technique, and a director growing in confidence, soon to become regarded as British cinema’s greatest film poet.
The Terence Davies Trilogy will be available to stream from Friday 20 May - Thursday 2 June.
All the films are available with closed captions. The films are rated 15, and contain scenes of domestic abuse.

Children (1976, 46 mins)
The opening film in Terence Davies' powerful Liverpool-set trilogy introduces Robert Tucker as a withdrawn young boy, bullied at school and terrorised by a violent father. His strict Catholic upbringing hinders his sexual awakening and a visit to the doctor for anti-depressants elicits little sympathy ("still no interest in girls?").
