It was just last week we were wondering what was next in store for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford director Andrew Dominik, with rumors that his long-gestating Blonde would finally be going forward thanks to Netflix. It looks like we’ll get a film from him much sooner than expected, as he reunited with his Jesse James composer Nick Cave for a feature on the making of their new album, Skeleton Tree.
Ahead of a September 9th release of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio LP, Dominik’s film One More Time With Feeling will screen in theaters worldwide the prior evening, on September 8th. Shot in both black-and-white and color, as well as 3D and 2D, see details on the “stark, fragile, and raw” film below.
Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination.
