One of the best rock documentaries in years, precisely because it deliberately ignores the genre’s conventions. Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard create a fictionalised world for an artist well familiar with inhabiting them – Nick Cave – and the sets and scenarios in which they place him in, chatting with Kylie Minogue or visiting his archive, allow for illuminating insight, focusing on his drive to create and the obsessions that permeate his body of work. Bonus feature: Bad Seed Warren Ellis as a homely cross between Gandalf and Jamie Oliver.
