It took me a year to finally see this movie. I truly am a huge Nick Cave fan. I see him whenever he comes to town. I feel like I let him down this time because this movie toured and opened around the world in 2016 and I was laid up in bed after surgery when it came around to San Francisco. I am finally out of the monastery and have access to the great wide open of Internet connection. I rented One More Time With Feeling from the Apple Store as soon as I could. This music documentary film is mostly in black and white with lots of interviews and lots of music. It follows Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recording the 2015 album Skeleton Tree. For those familiar with Nick Cave's music, these later albums like Push the Sky Away and Skeleton Tree are haunting collaborations that speak fully to the musical relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Throughout One More Time With Feeling, you can see the way the music comes forth from these musical minds, not only amidst the deep respect and friendship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, but also amongst all of The Bad Seeds. Although Nick Cave is its frontman, the entire storm of creation builds from each and every musician and member of this group. It's less of individuals playing their part and more of one being creating sound and emotion that pulls you, the listener and viewer, into its energetic eye. This documentary is particularly emotional to watch because not long before the start of filming, Nick Cave's eldest son perished from a drug-related accident. This was the reason Nick Cave did not tour that year. Instead, he filmed this movie to share with his fans. This is the most bare any of us public has seen Nick Cave. Although details of Arthur Cave's death are never detailed in the movie, his loss is felt throughout. The Bad Seeds talk of their sadness and connection to Nick's family, and essentially we see them as another part of Nick's family. Susie Bick, Nick Cave's wife, is fully seen and shares her work and her emotions throughout the movie as well. Normally Nick Cave keeps his family and family life very private, and this behind the scenes look at everyone is like taking a peek into the back bedrooms and bathrooms of the host couple of a really fancy house party. Even the documentarians voice their awkward discomfort at times in the interviews. As a huge fan of Nick Cave, I felt appreciative of this open look into his life and also a little uncomfortable, like was I really invited in? But he made this movie for his fans, in place of a tour, so yes, this movie and this look at Nick Cave and his family and the album Skeleton Tree was for me and it is for you. Many have criticized the Skeleton Tree album as being one note and rather flat. Where's the growth after Push the Sky Away? Admittedly, it does sound like a sad continuation of Push the Sky Away, but Nick Cave addresses this in his movie. I think the pain and suddenness of his great loss just kept Skeleton Tree in its entirety this one long keen. Nick Cave says himself that he just can't get to the polished layers that are indicative of his music and songs. Everything is really raw, and I think that after watching this movie, I can understand that and really appreciate it for what it is. Nick Cave is not for everyone, but for those of us that love him he is a man, he is a god, he is a guru. You will want to join him in his sadness and his joy, One More Time, With Feeling.
