20,000 DAYS ON EARTH
"Gorgeous and haunting...an unclassifiable and frequently spectacular documentary." -Andrew O'hehir, Salon.com
"Simply astounding, razor sharp, dynamic." -Rob Nelson, Variety
Winner, Sundance 2014 – Best Directing & Best Editing
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH is an inventive, lyrical ode to creativity and an intimate examination of the artistic process of musician and cultural icon Nick Cave. In their debut feature directors Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard fuse drama and documentary, weaving a staged day in Cave’s life with never-before-seen verité observation of his creative cycle. It features those who have affected his life, including wry tales from the road shared with his regular collaborator, the multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis; actor and friend Ray Winstone; and Kylie Minogue, who shared a duet with Cave in the breakout hit "Where the Wild Roses Grow." These voices from the past revisit Cave in daydream-like scenes as he sits behind the wheel driving through his adopted hometown of Brighton, England. Neither a music documentary nor a concert film, "20,000 Days On Earth" still contains electrifying performances.
