What astounded me the most was Cave's sense of empathy, how he so fluidly is able to put himself in the shoes of his wife, fans, son, previous self, etc. he intellectualizes his grief so well and explores the cathedral of pain he is experiencing. For myself, having so little, it is strange to see someone with so much fortune and family and friends experience a loss so deeply, knowing he would have to lose so much more to be where I am in life. I could really relate when he said he had lost faith in himself and in good in the world.
Nick Cave talking about his grief after the death of his son contrasted by the recording process of his amazing new album Skeleton Tree really touches you. The viewing experience felt very strange, almost too close, too personal or intimate and sometimes quite uncomfortably so. I felt his grief while listening to his music, his singing, hearing the excerpts from his poems and by just looking at the man. One of the purest and most genuine films of the year, with real, hard and heavy emotions.
What Dominik gives us is a portrait of an artist and a man and a family at a low. He doesn’t try to understand, but he does find some beauty and truth among the chaos and despair.
The most remarkable thing about Dominik’s film is that we are not only humble witnesses to such personal grief, but that we are seeing it actively articulated by such a fascinating mind.
What's most singular about the project — beautifully shot in black-and-white 3D, which often gives the images a beguiling disembodied quality — is that in addition to providing access to the creative process and deepening the album experience, it serves as a profoundly affecting reflection on the pain of parents who have lost a child.
More of an experience than a film, it is moving, mesmerizing, haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful and unforgettable. Absolutely a "must see" movie.
An amazing document of human suffering and loss. Nick Cave exposes himself, prostrated to an audience of strangers. It is engaging, uncomfortable, and cathartic.
It was hard to know what to expect from this film--would it play as a sequel to "20,000 Days On Earth"? Would it appear like a narrative, the album in visual from start to finish? It's a bit of both, and more... deeply moving, haunting, and beautifully affecting in its portraiture of the artists on which it focuses, "One More Time With Feeling" does precisely what it sets out to do: renders a thousand interviews and questions moot, and gives the world as much insight as Cave and his wife are willing to share--and that, it turns out, is perhaps a mercy to us, for what they do say is staggering in its honesty. We could talk about aesthetics (the film is gorgeous, the black-and-white 3-D experience hypnotizes and lends weight and immediacy to the interview portions--and makes the musical performances soar) but at core this is a document of process and people, who are also very much in process themselves. How rare, and how rich for us, the fans and listeners, to have such access to these amazing folks, even in their sorrow. A friend and I braved torrential rains and flashing skies, arriving at the theater thoroughly soaked--yet the experience was well worth it, and I know I will be revisiting Cave's words (and this director's vision) for a long time. I heard a rumor there were extra showings being planned in the following days, and I hope it's true--should the opportunity arise, I strongly recommend viewing this film in its intended format. At the very least, the music is there for us all.
I usually do not rate movies 10 out of 10 'cause there's always something missing for me. But this time, it's perfect! I knew this album would be about Nick's beloved son but I didn't know how much his death would affect him. He's telling us that the old him is gone. That the narrative side of his songs is gone. And then the music appears- Jesus Alone, Girl in Amber, Magnet sound terrific! The black & white cinematography, special effects, narration- they all together create a very genuine and intimate story 'bout grief and dealing with a loss. A Suberb piece of cinema!
Было трудно понять, чего ожидать от этой ленты, но то, что она не будет смотреться как продолжение "20,000 Days On Earth" было ясно. Будет ли это все выглядеть как повествование или визуализация альбома от начала до конца? Читать далее ********
