A long 2 hours

I struggled to become involved in this. It seemed to me that Nick Cave is involved enough in himself for both of us. I found the film pretentious & self indulgent. Some of the musical themes were good, but the lyrics were repetitive and boring. Personally I don't think this is singing.

Cave seems to have created a mesmerising persona, which, for some reason beyond my comprehension, garners him thousands of ecstatic fans. As for this film elucidating the creative process, I doubt anyone would be able to learn how to be creative from this.

It's probably a generational thing, but this seemed to me like the "Emperors new Clothes".
