An official trailer has been released for One More Time With Feeling, the upcoming film set to accompany the release of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ 16th studio album, Skeleton Tree, which drops globally on 9th September.
The follow-up to 2013’s Push the Sky Away is available for pre-order now via the official Nick Cave website, where you can also purchase tickets for One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Killing Them Softly).
The film will screen for one night only in more than 650 cinemas across the world on 8th September. The project combines performance footage and interviews, exploring the tragic event that led to the creation of the new album.
Cave’s 15-year-old son Arthur died last year after falling from a cliff top in Brighton, near his family’s home. Skeleton Tree is said to be a vivid examination of the grief the Australian music icon experienced in the wake of the tragic loss.
In the trailer, which you can view below, we see black and white footage of Cave and longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, with a moving and heartfelt voiceover from Cave. “Most of us don’t want to change, really. I mean why should we?” he muses.
“What we do want is sort of modifications on the original model. But what happens when an event occurs that is so catastrophic that we just change? We change from the known person to an unknown person.”
“So that when you look at yourself in the mirror do you recognise the person that you were? That the person inside the skin is a different person?”
