Band on the Wall Film Club presents 20,000 Days on Earth with Nick Cave

Next Tuesday, Band on the Wall’s Film Club continues its winning streak with 20,000 Days on Earth, a portrait of Nick Cave. A combination of drama and documentary, the 2014 film is a somewhat fictionalised day-in-the-life of the acclaimed songwriter. The movie looks into Cave’s artistic process, and through a discussion with his psychoanalyst, we discover how his early years informed his often-dour music. We meet some of his friends and collaborators, including actor Ray Winstone, and Blixa Bargeld, a former Bad Seed. Adding a touch of glamour is fellow Antipodean Kylie Minogue, with whom Cave duetted on Where the Wild Roses Grow. 20,000 Days on Earth premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, where it won World Cinema Documentary awards for directing and editing. This screening includes free food.

Tue 3 Mar, Band on the Wall, 25 Swan Street, M4 5JZ, 7pm (doors), £8, bandonthewall.org
