Andrew Dominik's One More Time With Feeling is a remarkable black and white documentary which chronicles the creation of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' album Skeleton Tree. Originally a performance based concept, the film evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. The result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness. It documents the writing, recording and performing of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree.

The aesthetic that Dominik has crafted is a pitch-perfect expression of Cave’s grappling with matters of time and space. It’s gorgeous and ghostly.

What astounded me the most was Cave's sense of empathy, how he so fluidly is able to put himself in the shoes of his wife, fans, son, previous self, etc. he intellectualizes his grief so well and explores the cathedral of pain he is experiencing. For myself, having so little, it is strange to see someone with so much fortune and family and friends experience a loss so deeply, knowing he would have to lose so much more to be where I am in life. I could really relate when he said he had lost faith in himself and in good in the world.

Nothing can give shape or closure to Cave—and that's OK. Watching him continue his ongoing search for existential answers is comfort enough.
