watching this in such close proximity to having watched 20,000 Days on Earth, which was filmed one year before his son died, and then watching this, filmed one year after, is kind of insane. obviously they are two very different documentaries, but there’s just such a marked difference in the way he exists, and watching the two docs nearly back to back is like watching a real person literally become someone else in real time, like watching a fissure rip in two. it feels like you can see every movement or facial expression or word spoken being pulled down by a weight you can’t see, like every act is attached to an anvil. and in so many words he pretty much says that’s how he feels point blank, but it is crazy how much something so internal can physically manifest, and to have these two living documents of who he was before the trauma and who he is after.

Nothing else matters, when everything stops making sense

So devastating, heartbreaking and beautiful.

"They told us our dreams would outlive us but they lied."

We all deal with depression and trauma in our own ways and it seems like 2016 is the year where film wants us to reflect on that and study it with films like Manchester by the Sea and Jackie. After finally seeing One More Time With Feeling I can honestly say that this is one of the greatest documentaries of all time. Dominik directs and shoots beautifully in this erapturous and morbid study of trying to let trauma out through creativity and how that usually isn't the correct outlet. I'd suggest reading Logan Kenny's review on it because it's better than anything I can come up with. All I can say is that this was the best 3D experience I've ever had. Everything popped out and it was beautiful. I can definitely say that I have never seen any film quite like One More Time With Feeling and probably never will.

not to exaggerate but i genuinely think nick cave is the closest humans will get to hearing the voice of god

the saddest work of art ever made

And isn't it the invisible things, lost things, that have so much mass, and so much weight; and are as big as the universe?

Can't express how much Nick Cave's music has meant in my life. His songs really help express what oneself can't express. The aggression, the sorrow, the outsiderness. There's nothing like it. I lost touch around the Grinderman project, where he was focused on being a happy man making playful almost back-to-basic rock music. Apart from a few song, that Nick Cave didn't connect with me spiritually. So for selfish reasons it's good to have the vulnerable Nick Cave back. Just very sad that it took such a tragic events like losing a son to bring him back. But it's hard to listen to his new album because now I feel ashamed that I want Nick Cave hurting so that he can make music that suits my vulnerability.

my base instincts about Dominick from watching Blonde are correct - he’s got an absolutely perfect form for making intimate documentaries about Nick Cave.
