Both gentle and staggering, an examination of the way our personal experiences can spur creativity-or render it inconsequential.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: One More Time with Feeling
2016 · 1h 53m · PG Documentary, Music
Overview
Andrew Dominik's One More Time With Feeling is a remarkable black and white documentary which chronicles the creation of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' album Skeleton Tree. Originally a performance based concept, the film evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. The result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness. It documents the writing, recording and performing of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree.

What's most singular about the project is that in addition to providing access to the creative process and deepening the album experience, it serves as a profoundly affecting reflection on the pain of parents who have lost a child.

A deeply personal film, uncomfortable to watch at times.

If it is sometimes a rambling and indulgent experience, it's also a beautiful one.
