December 27, 2014Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds was quite possibly the best concert I've ever been to, and I would absolutely love to see them again. Nick Cave's new film, a semi-documentary about his 20,000th day on Earth, appropriately titled '20,000 Days on Earth' was an interesting look into a day in the life of one of the most original and amazing entertainers of all time. It can't actually be considered a documentary since some of the interviews were intended to be in his own mind as he was driving by himself and talking to passengers (Ray Winstone, Blixa Bargeld, and Kylie Minogue) who weren't really there. The film also consisted of a visit to a psychiatrist who helped him deal with parts of his past (but was more or less interviewing him for the film), as well as a trip to some kind of archives which held all sorts of old pictures and memorabilia from his earlier days. It wasn't always cohesive, but it did at least give us a glimpse into the mind of Nick Cave. It also featured some behind the scenes stuff, with studio recordings and live shows. I'd recommend it for anyone who is a fan and I recommend everyone should be a fan.
