Dir: Terence Davies / 2016 / UK, Luxembourg / 135 min / DCP

Sunset Song is Terence Davies’ intimate epic of hope, tragedy, and love at the dawning of the Great War. Achingly lovely on both visual and narrative grounds, Sunset Song tells the story of a young woman’s endurance against the hardships of rural Scottish life. It is a grandly pictorial adaptation based on the novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, told with gritty poetic realism by Britain’s greatest living auteur. Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com says, “One of the great director Terence Davies’ best films: an example of old school and new school mentalities coming together to create a challenging and unique experience.”
