CL Critic Curt Holman Recommends: Andrew Dominik’s documentary explores the creative process and live performances of artists Nick Cave and Warren Ellis in a one-time screening. — Curt Holman

From the venue:

Shot on location in London and Brighton, director Andrew Dominik’s new feature documentary This Much I Know to Be True captures Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ exceptional creative relationship as they bring to life the songs from their last two studio albums, Ghosteen (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Carnage (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis). In this document of their first-ever performances of these albums, filmed in spring 2021 ahead of their UK tour, we see the two, accompanied by singers and string quartet, as they nurture each song into existence. The film features a special appearance by close friend and long-term collaborator Marianne Faithfull. This Much I Know to Be True is a companion piece to Dominik’s 2016 film One More Time with Feeling. It reaches into the deep friendship and personal relationship between Cave and Ellis, something glimpsed in the 2014 pseudo-documentary 20,000 Days on Earth. The film is another significant moment in the journeys of Cave and Ellis, capturing the mood and spirit of the pair as they move through a new, optimistic phase.
