Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, comments: “We’re honoured to be working on This Much I Know To Be True, our fifth cinema release with Nick Cave and his team, and our second with Andrew Dominik following One More Time With Feeling (2016).
“The relationship between Nick and Warren has been such a compelling element of their longstanding musical collaboration, and Andrew’s film has flawlessly captured this. The reaction from the Berlin Film Festival has been overwhelmingly positive, setting up our global event perfectly, and we’re excited to present the film to audiences around the world on May 11.”
Shot on location in London & Brighton, This Much I Know To Be True captures Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ exceptional creative relationship as they bring to life the songs from their last two studio albums, Ghosteen (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Carnage (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis), Trafalgar Releasing writes in a statement released March 2.
“In this document of their first ever performances of these albums, filmed in spring 2021 ahead of their UK tour, we see the two, accompanied by singers and string quartet, as they nurture each song into existence. The film features a special appearance by close friend and long-term collaborator, Marianne Faithfull,” the statement continues.
“The film reaches into the deep friendship and personal relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis,” the statement underlines, “something glimpsed in the 2014 Cave pseudo-documentary, 20,000 Days on Earth. The film will prove to be another significant moment in the journeys of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, capturing the mood and spirit of the pair as they move through a new, optimistic phase.”
This Much I Know To Be True is A Bad Seed Ltd film produced by Uncommon Creative Studios. It is a companion piece to Dominik’s One More Time With Feeling which premiered at the Venice Film festival followed by screenings in 850 cinemas across 30 countries, also distributed by Trafalgar Releasing.
