Riwayat Hidup
Terence Davies (10 November 1945 — 7 October 2023) was an English writer-director and former novelist.
As a filmmaker, Davies is noted for his recurring themes of emotional (and sometimes physical) endurance, the influence of memory on everyday life and the potentially crippling effects of dogmatic religiosity on the emotional life of individuals and societies.
Stylistically, Davies' works are notable for their symmetrical compositions, "symphonic" structure and measured pace.
