   Mar 8, 2022 · Running alongside the film's more elegiac sweep is a cut-glass wit that marks many of these encounters and an uneasy melancholy generated by Sassoon's inability to fully reconcile his own feelings that culminates in his turning from the warm and witty Lowden to the barren-spirited Capaldi.

   What is 'benediction' by Terence Davies about?

   • “Benediction,” Terence Davies’ achingly beautiful portrait of the English war poet and soldier Siegfried Sassoon, is a movie of acute sadness and intense pleasure. The pleasure and the sadness are inextricable, which seems fitting, given how closely aesthetic bliss and moral despair were entwined in Sassoon’s own art.

   What is a benediction based on?

   • This is one of Davies’ best films, as equally detached as his earlier work yet brimming with emotions that are a little closer to the surface than we expect from him. It’s interesting that he named this film “Benediction.” Webster’s describes a benediction as a Catholic sacrament, but also as the last prayer of a religious service.

   Does benediction have a chilly power?

   • Benediction’s chilly power hinges on a closing scene, indeed a long and extraordinary last shot, in which Lowden sits on a darkening park bench and Sassoon’s anguish pours out unfettered: he’s been thinking of Owen, and his poem “Disabled” in particular, and the shattering of so many lives, not least his own.
