| Nick Cave - 20,000 Days on Earth |
Fans of Nick Cave's music and performances will enjoy this partial staged, highly stylised and scripted documentary from film-makers and artists, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. The film is set to the narration of Cave himself and includes visits to his archive, a revealing session with his therapist and a variety of conversations with his friends and collaborators including Ray Winstone, Blixa Bargeld, Warren Ellis and Kylie Minogue. The film also includes footage taken when Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds performed live at the Sydney Opera House demonstrating the high level of audience devotion which Cave and his creativity have inspired. This is a film for Nick Cave devotees and serious documentary viewers will find Forsyth and Pollard's use of reenactment, Cave's over introspective manner and the odd use of Cave being a driver when talking to any of his friends and collaborators (while they are sitting in the back seat of his car as passengers) as artificially staged. It is nonetheless an entertaining art film rather than documentary and provides an insight into Cave and his work both as a musician and wider ranging sound artist.
