What a find. Wonderful music with supporting singers and musicians. Recorded in a large studio and interspersed with Nic talking about his ideas, creative process and present views. Athough his songs here may have sad undercurrents this is nothing but positive and optimistic. The ceramic figures he made of the devil at various stages of his life and shown at the beginning are so good. A way to be creative while Covid restricts his performing.

Wonderful
Lovely glazes.
This is a documentary that follows a man called Nick who is an amateur ceramicist. It's wonderful that forgotten hobbies like ceramics are finally getting mainstream attention. I am a big fan of arts and crafts. I used to make erotic art out of egg cartons, but these days I mainly focus on sellotaping bins together.
Sporadically through the film, Nick entertains us with a bit of karaoke. He has quite a good voice! Not sure if he'll ever make it as a singer, but it's lovely to see him have fun with his pals. To be honest, these musical bits take up quite a lot of the runtime and the main focus of ceramics seems to get lost along the way. Still, it's an interesting portrait of a burgeoning artist with a lovely soundtrack to boot.
If you're a fan
If you are a fan this is a no brainer. Basically watching the last two albums being recorded with a few blips of interview and insight. If you are not a fan of Nick cave and his music it may be an interesting watch but it is mostly music. Specifically their music.
