We’ve been patiently waiting for next film from Andrew Dominik, the director behind “The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford” and “Killing Them Softly,” but Hollywood doesn’t seem to be in any big rush to get his projects going. But it seems the filmmaker has a bit of a sneak attack planned for this fall.

September 8th will see his new movie, “One More Time With Feeling,” hitting theaters around the world. Originally conceived as something more straightforward, the film accompaniment for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds‘ new album Skeleton Tree grew into something more. Mixing live performances, interviews, improvisation, narration, color and black-and-white photography, and 2D and 3D imagery, the explores the making of the album as Cave grappled with the tragic death of his son.

Picturehouse Entertainment will be releasing the film, which arrives one day before Skeleton Tree drops on September 9th. Press release below.

June 2 2016: The first opportunity anyone will have to hear any of the songs from the new Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album, Skeleton Tree, will be to watch the feature film One More Time With Feeling, directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly). The film will be distributed to more than 650 cinemas around the world by Picturehouse Entertainment on 8th September 2016, immediately prior to the release of Skeleton Tree the following day.

Originally a performance based concept, One More Time With Feeling evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds’ filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave’s intermittent narration and improvised rumination.

Filmed in black-and-white and colour, in both 3D and 2D, the result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ sixteenth studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on vinyl, CD and across all digital platforms on 9th September 2016. This follows the Bad Seeds’ most critically and commercially successful release of recent times, Push the Sky Away (2013).

Skeleton Tree began its journey in late 2014 at Retreat Studios, Brighton, with further sessions at La Frette Studios, France in autumn 2015. The album was mixed at AIR Studios, London in early 2016.
