Black Priest Nick Cave ceased to be human around the year 2000. When he writes a song, he leaves a child alone in a room with a Mongolian psychopath and a unicycle clown he shoots, he doesn't remember much about the 1980s, and watches Scarface with his sons. It's definitely not a normal documentary (if it is a documentary), but it surprised me with its accessibility and especially its non-depressiveness. It shows Cave as a funny guy with an extremely charming look who used to do a lot of drugs, but today is happiest when he can write and hang out in the studio with Warren Ellis and the rest of his gang.

As a musician, Nick Cave is a big unknown to me, and I've never listened to him, or at least not knowingly. I know him more as the author of the book "The Death of Bunny Munro," where he caught my attention because he definitely has literary abilities that seem to be reflected in his lyrics as well. A specific perspective on a personality I don't know, but who intrigued me.
