Davies' autobiographical films are defined by a particular quality of English light. The grey of Liverpool's terraced streets, the warm amber of cinema interiors that represented escape. Distant Voices, Still Lives uses color with a painter's eye, each scene composed and lit like a Francis Bacon or a Lucian Freud. The House of Mirth brought this sensibility to Edwardian New York's suffocating warmth.
