not available on video
How is it possible that this film is not available on VHS or DVD? Sight and Sound ranks it as the 9th best film of the last 25 years.
shareI know someone who has a copy on vhs but may be willing to part with it. It's not one of her faves.
shareId be interested in taking that copy of her hands.

something monstrous crammed down into

This has just recently been restored and will be shown during the Terence Davies' retrospective at the NFT in February which a DVD release will inevitably follow some months after.

Excellent news! I just hope they also issue it in region 1 along with his Trilogy. I saw DVSL in 88 probably, and I was incredibly moved by it. I'm dying to watch it again to see if it is as wonderful as I remember.

I saw it for the first time at the BFI the other night - it is *astonishingly* good. It was so moving - and so bloody funny.
Somehow or other, it manages to be what it is without being the least bit sentimental. It *does* show how easily people slip into sentimentality - and God knows it's hard not to get sentimental about music - but the film itself never becomes so.
Moreover, it was special to me because it's one of the few films I've seen that doesn't patronise the white working class - or mock them. In the 'Still Lives' section, they made me think of my mum's family, and how they most likely were, back in the '40s/'50s/early '60s (they were a happier bunch than the Davies', fortunately).
A British Masterpiece, IMHO.
