Oddbird film-makers Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard create a bizarre "fictional" documentary about the life of Australian rocker/writer Nick Cave in 20, 000 Days On Earth.
It cleverly soars over Cave's life through various styles and narratives that document his inspirations and creative methods some of which are incredibly interesting and some that come off as completely self-absorbed. Cave loves to talk about his creative process and himself but fortunately it never ceases to bewilder and enchant even when you're not sure if he's talking out of his ass or not. The narration is gifted with some wonderful photography, editing and musical score making for a definite spot on the shelf of any Cave fan and probably anybody who is interested in creative inspiration.
