Time & Tickets

In THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis perform the songs from their last two studio albums, GHOSTEEN (by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and CARNAGE (by Cave and Ellis). The footage was shot in the spring of 2021, in London and Brighton, prior to a tour of the United Kingdom. Together with backing singers and string quartets, in addition to a contribution from longtime friend Marianne Faithfull, the musicians perform their beautiful songs in the most intimate way possible.

In a way this documentary is a sequel to ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING, released in 2016. In that documentary, director Andrew Dominik follows the two musicians through a period of mourning and intense grief. THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE is something completely different. It shows the two resilient musicians during a much more optimistic period in their lives.

Please take notice of the fact that this documentary contains flashes of light.

Andrew Dominik, United Kingdom, 2022, 106 min. English spoken, Dutch subtitles.
