A poet of pain, ecstasy and epiphany, Terence Davies is a colossal loss to British cinema

Thank goodness Davies experienced his late-career appreciation – he was a director of high seriousness and singularity and a man of vulnerability and true good humour.

Terence Davies was the great British movie artist of working class Catholic experience and gay identity, a passionate believer and practitioner of cinema. And was also a wonderfully stylish and self-assured presence in person, with a gorgeously resonant voice that might have belonged to a stage matinee idol.

His most recent work, Netflix drama Benediction, starring Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden and Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi, explored the life of war poet Siegfried Sassoon.
