"Anywhere but here" is the common phrase, but Liverpool's variation seems to be "anywhere but anywhere." Lisandro Alonso's follow-up to Los Muertos is another mostly unspoken journey, but that film's flirtations with myth and regression—traveling from prison to jungle—makes Liverpool's revelation as a journey of banality all the more surprising.

The cumulative impressiveness of the completely measured banality of Liverpool, avoiding both pictorialism and the pretentious weight in its simple, realist, but distanced camera set-ups, must be extended to Alonso's people (characters they are not in this non-drama) and to Liverpool's world. The reveal of the reason behind the film's title seems to make it clear—this is a deadened, unhappy life of routine, remorse, and work, wherever it is, whatever you do. An object that another film would use as a romantic starting point—a cherished souvenir from a mysterious world abroad—here becomes a kind of final punctuation: banal, so much so it might even be darkly humorous. This is what it is like in this world, and only the most resolute and dedicated cinema could express such a philosophy without succumbing to the very malady effecting its world. Alonso's brilliant, slow-burning simplicity creeps slowly but definitively, and its impact continues to entwine itself after its scenes of brutal disinterest and deeply repressed unhappiness routinely proceed past. It is a sign that Liverpool is not nearly as banal as it seems.

Au milieu de l'océan Atlantique, Farrel demande au capitaine du cargo sur lequel il travaille l'autorisation de descendre à terre : il veut se rendre là où il est né pour savoir si sa mère respire encore. Farrel a travaillé comme marin les vingt dernières années de sa vie. Il s'est soûlé à en rouler par terre et a toujours payé les femmes qu'il a eues. Il ne s'est fait aucun ami. Une fois parvenu au hameau enneigé où il a vécu ses premières années, il découvre que sa mère vit toujours mais également que la famille compte une personne de plus.
