THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE

GLOBAL SCREENING EVENT - May 11, 2022

Edmonton, Alberta - Metro Cinema 

Filmed on location in London & Brighton, THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE captures the creative relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis as they create their studio albums "Ghosteen" (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and "Carnage" (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis).

The film documents the first-ever performances of these albums, filmed in spring 2021 ahead of their UK tour. We can see the two accompanied by singers and a string quartet as they nurture each song into existence. The film also features a special appearance by close friend and long-term collaborator, Marianne Faithfull.

Shot in colour by Andrew Dominik and with cinematography by Robbie Ryan, THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE is a companion piece to Dominik's 2016 film One More Time with Feeling. It reaches into the deep friendship and personal relationship between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis; 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.
