20,000 Days On Earth

Pushing back the boundaries of music documentary making, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's 20,000 Days on Earth is a fascinating study into the life of Nick Cave.

Cave comes across as a very likeable and entertaining subject, his mystique kept intact by the stylised nature of the work and the clever, surreal way his musings on life, music and everything are presented.

For me the most inventive documentary since Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop it proved once again what a valuable art form the documentary is.
