Culture › Films › Reviews A Quiet Passion, film review: Davies meets Dickinson and the result is a masterpiece of mood It is an exceptional film with a searing central performance from Cynthia Nixon Geoffrey Macnab | @IndyVoices | Sunday 14 February 2016| 1comment Cynthia Nixon is searing as Emily Dickinson Films by Terence Davies tend not to come along very often. He is indisputably one of the great British directors of his era, but he is not one of the most prolific. It is therefore all the more heartening to encounter A Quiet Passion only a few months after his last feature, Sunset Song, was in cinemas. A Quiet Passion is a biopic of the 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson. It is an exceptional film with a searing central performance from Cynthia Nixon in a role a long way removed from her Miranda Hobbes in Sex And The City. As any student who has encountered Dickinson knows, the poet’s life was not outwardly eventful. After a stint at seminary school, she lived at home with her family in Amherst, Massachusetts. She never married. Only a handful of the huge number of poems she wrote were READ MORE published in her lifetime. Outwardly, she Berlin Film Festival 2016: 8 films that you may have seemed prim and self-effacing, should know about but as Davies and Nixon brilliantly show, she was in fact a fiery, passionate figure who questioned every aspect of the patriarchal society in which she lived. The mood of A Quiet Passion switches dramatically. In its first half, the film has a jaunty, comic air. We see Emily (played as a young woman by Emma Bell) exasperating her teachers by refusing to accept their strictures on religion. Back home, she strikes up a firm friendship with Miss Buffum (Catherine Bailey), a wonderfully cynical and witty neighbour with an acerbic tongue. With its sweeping camera work and shots of the defiant womenfolk twirling their parasols and snapping their fans, the film resembles one of those old Hollywood musicals that Davies so admires. There are dance sequences and much more colour than you might expect. Much of the film is set indoors. This is a very faithful recreation of Dickinson’s world but it never feels stolid. The fluid cinematography – those wonderful gliding shots that are found in many of Davies’s films – and the sheer liveliness of the writing and the performances add energy to the storytelling. From time to time, we hear passages of Dickinson’s verse, read beautifully by Nixon, on the soundtrack. READ MORE The key events in Dickinson’s life we are Berlin Film Festival 2015: Fifty Shades red carpet presented with include her obsession roundup with Wadsworth (Eric Loren), the Cinderella: Sparkly new trailer debuts before married, Heathcliff-like clergyman who Berlin Film Festival recognises her genius; and her encounter with the bumbling publisher who cuts out the punctuation from her poems, little realising the importance Emily attaches to her dots and dashes. In its second half, the tone of A Quiet Passion darkens. Dickinson is confronted with illness, death and extreme disappointment. At times, she herself can behave very viciously (for example, when she encounters sexual betrayal). In its depiction of physical pain, the film rekindles memories both of Bergman’s Cries And Whispers and of the death scene in Davies’s own Distant Voices, Still Lives.

On the face of it, the two couldn’t be more different: the former revels in its sweeping landscapes and full-blooded screaming matches, while the latter is a resolutely- controlled miniature, barely setting foot outside the Dickinson house in Amherst, Massachusetts. For all that, A Quiet Passion sees Davies returning again to some familiar themes. His Dickinson – superbly played with a sort of restless passivity by Cynthia Nixon – is, like Sunset Song’s Chris Guthrie, a figure trapped by history and circumstance, desperate to find an outlet for the Terence Davies on overwhelming emotions surging inside her.

Highly acclaimed English director/writer Terence Davies became fascinated with her work reading one of her poems (Dickinson 301) in his 2008 film ‘Of Time and the City’. He considers her “America’s greatest poet-The poetry is so sublime and she should be read” He began work on the screenplay in 2012 writing the screenplay with film and stage actress Cynthia Nixon in mind casting her as Emily.

  • A Quiet Passion Terence Davies, a Writer/Director of Sober Taste And
    A Quiet Passion Terence Davies, a writer/director of sober taste and refinement (“The Deep Blue Sea,” “The House of Mirth”) who takes literature seriously, examines the sheltered, mysterious, yet vibrant life of Emily Dickinson in “A Quiet Passion,” trying to bridge the gap between the uneventful domestic life of the woman who became a recluse and the inward fervor of the poet. He chooses a highly stylized manner to tell his chronicle of the Amherst maid, and his effort results in hits and misses. The staging of “A Quiet Passion” seems perfectly appropriate (the film did exteriors in Amherst and interiors in Belgium). It is sedate and often striking: most scenes show a fixed camera view of a Victorian interior framed by doorways wherein the protagonists deliver their ever-articulate lines, usually with a minimum of invisible cuts. Occasionally, these stagings are intermingled with a leisurely 360-degree pan. Such straight-on filming can prove wonderful, such as a tour-de-force time lapse of the Dickinson family as each individual morphs into their characters 20 years later. But that fixed stare can also make Emily’s periodic torments (from symptom’s of Bright’s disease) excruciating to watch. Whether Cynthia Nixon’s writhing in these scenes, as the fevered Emily, shows good acting or just gratuitous voyeurism is up to the viewer to decide. Davies makes another decision on staging which is problematic. As Emily’s woes increase, with the loss of family members and the progression of her diseases, the film becomes as reclusive as the poet, where she decides to confine herself to her bedroom and wear only a white shift.

Acclaimed British director Terence Davies (House of Mirth, The Deep Blue Sea) exquisitely evokes Dickinson’s deep attachment to her close-knit family along with the manners, mores and spiritual convictions of her time that she struggled with and transcended in her poetry. LOGLINE Cynthia Nixon personifies the wit, intellectual independence, and pathos of 19th Century American poet Emily Dickinson in this masterful biographical drama from acclaimed director Terence Davies (House of Mirth).

  • Look No Further If You Are Interested in Gaining a Deeper Understanding of the Holy Mystery of Emily Dickinson’S Poetry
    “Look no further if you are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the holy mystery of Emily Dickinson’s poetry. Weaving together history and biography as well as writings from mystics, popes, and poets, Charles M. Murphy skillfully explores the ‘sacramental consciousness’ of one of America’s greatest poets.” — Elizabeth Johnson-Miller, author of Rain When You Want Rain and Fierce This Falling “Charles Murphy’s examination of Emily Dickinson’s poetry in the Christian mystical tradition adds another layer to the growing corpus of serious treatments of her work as so much more than simply private lyric verse. In brief compass and with great care, Murphy enlarges our sense of the possibilities that Dickinson’s genius lays before us. No one who reads this book will ever think quite the same again about her poetry.” — Paul Lakeland, Fairfield University, author of The Wounded Angel: Fiction and the Religious Imagination “Charles Murphy’s book weaves together an amazing range of sources: literary and theological, mystical and personal anecdote. It explicates Emily Dickinson’s poetry with delight and sensitivity and raises the reader’s awareness of her spiritual aspirations and fragile beauty of soul. It is an exploration of poetry and prayer that will be valued by all those who are drawn to either or both.” — Marie Noonan Sabin, author of Evolving Humanity and Biblical Wisdom “Margery Kempe’s autobiography was lost for 400 years. Thomas Traherne’s meditations were rescued from a trash heap after the author’s death. This book now demonstrates, more than 130 years after Emily Dickinson’s death, how we’re only beginning to see her poems for what they were.” — Jon M.
