Headline: British director Terence Davies dies

Caption: Beloved British screenwriter and director Terence Davies has died at the age of 77. The Liverpudlian filmmaker established himself with his trilogy of short films - Children, Madonna and Child, and Death and Transfiguration - in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He died peacefully at home after a short illness on Saturday, his manager confirmed in a statement to the BBC. Davies' latest film for Netflix, Benediction, starring Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden and Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi, was about the life of war poet Siegfried Sassoon, and was released last year.
