- Synopsis
- Davies' film is divided into three segments enitled:
Children, 1974 / Madonna and Child, 1980 / Death and Transfiguration, 1983.
Part 1- CHILDREN
The theme is violence - social and domestic - and its effect on the main character Robert Tucker. It is told in a series of extended flashbacks and reveals incidents from his childhood. The film ends with a memory - the death of his father and the boy appears to be trapped in his sexuality and his childhood.
Part 2 - MADONNA AND CHILD
It is a film about the conflict between Catholicism and sexuality. A severe and intimate portrait of Robert Tucker in middle age who is trapped in his private and public personnae.
Part 3 - DEATH AND TRANSFIGURATION
Part three completes the story in more ways than being merely the final installment. It is a summing up of Tucker`s life and his attitudes towards the remembered events of his life and his coming to terms with his mortality.- Rankings Position
