Re: Cave/Ellis: I listened to THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD hundreds of times while writing my book, TO THE BRIDGE, A TRUE STORY OF MOTHERHOOD AND MURDER. I kept it on CD in my car and, after four years, it disappeared; I suspect a family member could not take hearing it one more time. I still listen to it and consider it the soundtrack to my book
Nancy- I highly recommend Andrew Dominik’s two documentary films with Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. One More Time With Feeling charts the time after Cave’s young son died from a tragic accident and the making of the album “Skeleton Tree” and This Much I Know To Be True follows Cave and Ellis during the making of “Ghosteen” and “Carnage,” with a special appearance by Marianne Faithfull. Both films are so emotional and edifying, that it was truly shocking to see Blonde falter in contrast. One More Time With Feeling may be one of the best explorations of grief and creativity through grief I’ve ever seen that I said to my friend after seeing Blonde: “How is it that Andrew Dominik can photograph Warren Ellis’s beard with so much emotion, but there’s no moment that even comes close when his subject is the iconic coif of Marilyn Monroe?”
