One More Time With Feeling review – undeniably moving contemplation of loss

The singer opens up over the tragic death of his 15-year-old son, airing his raw grief in this unconventionally directed documentary

"I think I'm losing my voice," says Nick Cave, early on in this documentary, directed by Andrew Dominik of The Assassination of Jesse James renown. Cave certainly sounds a little croaky at the time, but the metaphorical ramifications are not in the slightest bit lost on the spindly, silk-shirted poet of ruination and loss.

And so begins the transformation of this film from a hagiographic, but essentially standard-issue, promotional film for Cave's upcoming album, into an undeniably moving contemplation of shattering loss and - as Cave repeatedly terms it - "trauma". For hovering in the background of this film - and the album it documents - is the death of Cave's 15-year-old son Arthur, midway through recording, in July 2015.
