Nick Cave Documentary Director Felt Tremendous Responsibility
.
(Classic Rock) Director Andrew Dominik recalls the "tremendous responsibility" he felt when making the heartbreaking Nick Cave documentary, One More Time With Feeling. The film captures the singer-songwriter's grief as he comes to terms with the death of his teenage son Arthur, after he fell from a cliff last year. It includes interviews and footage which "delve into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording" of his latest album, Skeleton Tree - some of which was written in the aftermath. Dominik says the film was designed as a way for Cave to tell people of his loss without facing the media, rather than "a work of entertainment" - but he admits they were both still "concerned" about how the project would come across to people. He tells Rolling Stone: "I felt tremendous responsibility because it was his tragedy, it was his money, it was his record, and I had to come up with something coherent. I wasn't sure if that was possible," "The biggest concern we had was, is there something kind of disgusting about making a film whose centre is this terrible tragedy? There's a way of looking at it like we're exploiting Arthur's death to sell records." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. advertisement |
