Benediction

Post by BoSoxGal »

I finally got around to watching this most recent Terence Davies film I had in my watchlist and felt compelled to recommend it here.

It’s not always easy to watch, but it is stunning and well deserving the 93% fresh rating on RT.

If you can’t be comfortable with LGBTQ themes then stay away, but if you’re mature and tolerant you will be rewarded by a beautiful, elegiac film that pays tribute to the souls lost in the Great War and those who endured the pain of surviving it. And, of course, there is poetry.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
