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.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dominik convinced Cave to do this by promising it would fund the tour. Cave later called the 3D concept 'a bad idea' mid-filming. The tension is in the frame.
Released weeks after Skeleton Tree, the film became the primary text—most listeners experienced the album THROUGH this grief narrative, forever coupling the art to the trauma.
