SARATOGA SPRINGS — Shot on location in London and Brighton in the spring of 2021, “This Much I Know To Be True” will screen in more than 1,000 cinemas across 37 territories on Wednesday, May 11, following its critically acclaimed world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
A regional showing will take place at Regal Crossgates & Imax at Washington Ave. Ext. in Albany.
Directed by Andrew Dominik, the film captures Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ exceptional creative relationship, bringing to life the songs from their last two studio albums, “Ghosteen” (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and “Carnage” (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis).
Accompanied by singers and string quartet, Cave and Ellis nurture each song into existence. The film features a special appearance by long-term collaborator, Marianne Faithfull.
Segments between the songs illuminate the cosmology and themes of the music, and there is a visit to Cave’s workshop, where he is creating a series of sculptures depicting the life of the Devil—a portrait of the lives of all of us as we move from innocence to experience, attune to the world and its attendant loss, and eventually confront our own mortality.
Longtime collaborators Cave and Ellis were depicted at work in the highly acclaimed 2014 pseudo-documentary, “20,000 Days on Earth.”
