In stark black and white,
Davies excavates the life of his fictional alter ego, Robert Tucker, in
a narrative that slips between childhood, middle age and death, shaping
the raw materials of his own life into a rich tapestry of experiences
and impressions.

Over the course of these three films, we
witness the emergence of Davies’ singular talent and style, the
refinement of his technique, and a director growing in confidence, soon
to become British cinema’s greatest film poet.
