Who doesn’t love the quick, cocksureness of a thirty-year-old Nick Cave? The brooding intellectual takes on director Bram van Splunteren by challenging his questions, not to mention fucking with him towards the end of the documentary. Interviews with the Bad Seeds, live footage, and practice space shots round out Nick Cave: Stranger In A Strange Land, which was originally aired by Dutch station, VPRO. This thirty-year-old film portrays a standing Berlin Wall, eccentric creatures of local nightlife, and the mutual respect between Mark E. Smith of the Fall and Cave.
