(2014) dir Iain Forsyth, Jane Pollard w/Nick Cave, Waren Ellis, Ray Winstone, Blixa Bargeld, Kylie Minogue [97 min; DCP]
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH is an inventive, lyrical ode to creativity and an intimate examination of the artistic process of musician and cultural icon Nick Cave. Directors Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard fuse drama and documentary for this remarkable film, weaving a staged day in Cave’s life with never-before-seen observations of his creative cycle. Neither a straight music documentary nor a concert film, 20,000 DAYS ON EARTH is a category-defying work that pushes the form into new territory, exploring universal themes about artistry, and celebrating the transformative power of the creative spirit.
