Heart of the Country

This year’s edition of Film Society of Lincoln Center’s “Film Comment Selects” series (running Feb. 17-24) opens with a major coup: the New York première of “Sunset Song,” a new film by Terence Davies, who has long been among the world’s most original directors, despite his relatively scant output. After his exquisite adaptation of Edith Wharton’s “The House of Mirth,” in 2000, Davies didn’t film another drama until “The Deep Blue Sea,” in 2012.
