I came late to Nick Cave, but the premise of this documentary piqued my interest soon after its release. Owing to the restriction of the initial 'one night only' showing, I wasn't able to catch it until now.
Having watched it on DVD, I can now honestly say I am glad I have done so. Nick Cave is a very interesting man, and he demands a certain respect which is evident in the way this documentary has been made.
The use of black and white cinematography is jarring at first, but it soon becomes apparent that this is the only way it could be.
The documentary feels intimate, but manages not to be voyeuristic - a triumph by Dominick and his team.
There is much here for the Cave fan, the casual viewer and the creative alike.
