Movie No. 29 (2014): THE LONG DAY CLOSES
The Long Day Closes (1992)
Director: Terence Davies
Cast: Leigh McCormack, Marjorie Yates
The Long Day Closes is a visual and aural feast. Visual poetry is the more appropriate label for this film since its scenes are not always what they seem despite the snippets that suggest the daily existence of the main character, a melancholic 11-year-old boy who finds solace in the confines of the cinema.

There is no plot to discuss. But there's masterful use of music. Actually, a lot of it. The cinematography is awesome. I'm not sure if I've seen anything similar to this film. But, what I saw, and what I felt, I liked a lot.
