Born in Liverpool 70 years ago, Terence Davis is an old acquaintance of the Festival which devoted a retrospective to his work in 2008. Having brought several films here in the past, he is back this year to present A Quiet Passion in the Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section. It gives Davies the opportunity to portray the figure of the great American poet Emily Dickinson, by focusing on the inner torment that she experienced from an early age when she began to question the idea of God. The director said that he felt very close to her because in his youth he had been very devout, and was obsessed with obtaining forgiveness for his sins, which meant that his teenage years were awful.
As well as showing the religious conflict that Dickinson went through, Davies’s approach to the figure of the poet is also marked by the grief it caused her to discover that her work wasn’t appreciated by her contemporaries. The director said that although making the film might increase interest in her work, this would now be no use to her at all and he personally found that the thought of this was unbearable.
