The movie had a raw feel about it, an honest look at the creative
process from the perspective of Nick Cave. It opened up a line of
thoughts (as an aspiring musician) that transformed, inspired,
questioned and transcended my way of writing. The pace of the movie was
far from slow, (though obviously nor was it fast paced), it almost
reflected Cave's musical writing style, a kind of creeping epic
crescendo. The movie didn't fail to completely grip my friend, who I'd
rate highly in terms of his cinematic knowledge (working in the
industry), despite the fact that he hasn't really been exposed to much
of Cave's work.
The cinematography was beautiful, with extremely unique transitions
that somehow flowed scene to scene. The soundtrack was obviously
excellent, with some stirring performances, I'm fairly certain there
were a few slightly teary eyes in the cinema. Nick Cave was
simultaneously eccentric, enigmatic yet very down to earth and
heartfelt. I did feel his heartbeat.
