Poet Siegfried Sassoon survived the horrors of fighting in the First World War and was decorated for his bravery, but became a vocal critic of the government's continuation of the war when he returned from service. Adored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London's literary and stage world, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality.

I love Terence Davies' movies so much because they bring me so much life, and yet they also break my heart? And this one I think did both very well.

a mitad de película me ha llamado la atención que en el momento más mundano dijera "the moment passes but the hurt remains". pero viendo cómo acaba es completamente desolador que sea verdad :((
