NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS: THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE
1 X 95' HD / 4k
DIRECTED BY ANDREW DOMINIK A BAD SEED FILM
A brand-new film capturing the first ever performances exceptional creative relationship as they bring to life the songs from their last two studio albums, Ghosteen and Carnage.
Featuring a special appearance by close friend and long-term collaborator Marianne Faithfull, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are also accompanied by singers and string quartet, as they nurture each song into existence.
Interstitial pieces between the songs illuminate the cosmology and themes of the music. We hear about the process of Nick writing The Red Hand Files – the letters he chooses to answer and the replies themselves – giving us an insight into his current concerns in life and music, and into the method by which he is able to bring his own thoughts and feelings into order.
We also visit the workshop where he is creating a series of sculptures depicting the life of the Devil – a portrait of the lives of all of us as we move from innocence to experience, attune to the world and its attendant loss, and eventually confront our own mortality.
This film is the companion-piece 2016 film One More Time with Feeling and is directed by filmmaker Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Killing Them Softly, Blonde)
