THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE

Shot on location in London & Brighton, Andrew Dominik’s new feature documentary 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).

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. 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. 

Directed by Andrew Dominik with cinematography by Robbie Ryan, THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE proves a perfect companion piece to Dominik’s 2016 film One More Time with Feeling, and marks another significant moment in the expansive artistic journeys of Cave and Ellis.
