TOTAL ART

Nick Cave officially has no brakes.

One of the greatest songwriters and artists from the past couple of decades has elevated himself to a whole new level by filming a documentary about his last studio album ”The Skeleton Tree”, that simultaneously tells a story about his personal family tragedy, the one that no parent should endure in his/her lifetime, a loss of a child.

While the other artist only talk about total art with no boundaries between them and the viewer, Cave enforces it, without any hesitation or remorse. Literally falling apart in front of the camera, he tells the world about his feelings, trying to cope with them, transform them into music and lyrics, thus making one of the most personal albums of all times. And he does that in a profoundly sincere way, just like any other human being on this planet that is not a musical superstar.

”The Skeleton Tree” will move each and every human being, not just the fans of Nick Cave.
