Nick Cave: 'The greatest feat of artistic honesty would be to retire'
15 February 2013 2:27 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The musician, novelist and screenwriter talks about the new direction of his latest album with the Bad Seeds, Push The Sky Away (listen to it here) – and his prolific output over the past few years
It is a Thursday morning and Nick Cave – tanned and beautifully suited – is receiving the press in the upstairs room of a charming gastropub in Brighton's Kemptown. Born in Australia and variously resident over the years in Berlin, London and São Paulo, he has spent the past decade becoming one of the seaside town's most celebrated residents. Rock king Cave, as the local paper persists in referring to him when he makes its pages, seems remarkably visible around the town, perhaps because – nothing if not a proper pop star – he declines to dress down. The present writer once saw him in Diy superstore Homebase, dressed almost exactly as he is now: some years ago, a »

The 5 Best Music Videos Of The Week
8 February 2013 7:09 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
5) Ex Cops “Separator”
Directed by Jason Shaltz
This week’s 5 Best Music Videos Of The Week features a handful of videos that are beautifully dark in different ways, and kicking it off is Ex Cops latest video for “Separator”.
The video is presented like a humble night out for the band, it feels like this is a weekly occurrence as the band chill in melancholy fashion not even noticing the dancer. The shots at the bar are beautifully lit and the slight use of slow-mo adds to the dreariness the band seem to be depicting. The night time shots of the BMX bicyclists are both engaging and somewhat unnerving and the outside performance provided by Ex Cops is a nice touch too. This is a moody number, with an overall moody video to match.
4) Benoit Pioulard “Margin”
Directed by Daniel Algarin
This video consists of a story of a businessman »

5 February 2013 4:24 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Ray Winstone stars in the new music video for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' 'Jubilee Street'.
The film was directed by John Hillcoat, who helmed 2005's The Proposition from Cave's script, which also starred Winstone.
"It was a real pleasure hanging around the set and watching Ray do his thing," Cave said.
"He is a master. What a great actor. And of course, working with my friend and collaborator John Hillcoat is always a blast."
The track is the second to be released from Push The Sky Away, the band's 15th studio album, which is available via Bad Seed Ltd from February 18.
The video was shot on location in London's East End last December.
Hillcoat also directed last year's Lawless, which was written by Cave.

Lawless Blu-Ray Review
15 January 2013 3:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Director John Hillcoat and musician turned screenwriter Nick Cave have been responsible for two of the most stylish examinations of existential dread in recent times with The Proposition and The Road. Where those films may have been deliberately paced and more concerned with the creeping darkness in wide open devastated landscapes than visceral fireworks, Lawless is a decidedly different beast and something of a mixed blessing all round.
The film takes place in the depression during prohibition and follows the fortunes of the Bondurant family who bootleg and run moonshine in and out of the county much to the chagrin of the law who are usually in on it somehow anyway. The team are run by Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy) who is the calm centre and who legend claims is immortal. His older brother Howard (Jason Clarke) is a hot-headed drunk and his younger brother Jack (Shia LeBeouf) wants to »

“What fresh Hell is this?” Nick Cave: poetry and full-on violence.
8 January 2013 2:41 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With it being Western month here at Sound on Sight, it only felt right to talk about Nick Cave’s contribution to the world of cinema. Best known for his work as front man of the Bad Seeds; Nick Cave is also an author, composer, occasional film actor and a screenwriter with an fascination for full-on violence.
With lyrics obsessing on such themes as death, violence and love it’s only natural Cave has written screenplays as in his own words it is “the most effective way of dealing with that particular subject”.
Directed by: John Hillcoat
Written by: Nick Cave
2005, Australia/United Kingdom
Set in the Australian outback in the 1880s, The Proposition is a bloody and stylish Aussie western.

Jack Irish: bringing the dead to life
7 January 2013 8:24 PM, PST | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Jack Irish, adapted from Peter Temple's critically-acclaimed detective novels, stars Guy Pearce in the lead role as a former criminal lawyer, turned private investigator and debt collector.
Directed by Jeffrey Walker, the two TV movies, Bad Debt and Black Tide, follow the life of Irish after his wife Isabel has been murdered by an ex-client, which leads him on a near-suicidal drinking binge.
Jason Baird's make-up effects company, Jmb FX Studio, was invited to design concepts for a number of dead bodies in the two telemovies at an early stage in the production cycle. Walker wanted the corpses to be as realistic as possible, which is why they turned to Baird's team following their success on productions like The Pacific, where the company.s work creating hundreds of mutilated dead bodies won it an Emmy.
Over the years, the effects experts have studied a number of real corpses »

Lawless; The Girl; The Imposter
Australian-born film-maker John Hillcoat is an often underrated auteur whose arresting filmography spans the broiling prison rebellion of Ghosts… of the Civil Dead, through the rugged western terrain of The Proposition to the bleak apocalypse of The Road, the last beautifully (but unpopularly) adapted from Cormac McCarthy's famously "unfilmable novel". Collaborating frequently with writer and composer Nick Cave, Hillcoat returns obsessively to themes of familial loyalty and modern mythology, with a quasi-biblical sense of archetypal justice and retribution often firing the infernal engine of his dramas.
Fittingly, family, mythology and vengeful justice are all at the heart of Lawless (2012, Momentum, 18), screenwriter Cave's adaptation of Matt Bondurant's visceral historical novel The Wettest County in the World. Handsomely set in prohibition-era Virginia (Benoît Delhomme's location cinematography conjures a perfect blend of pastoral lyricism and brutal violence), the film follows the changing fortunes of the Bondurant brothers, »

Cool Videos: Enter the Void's Gasper Noé directs a video for Nick Cave
4 January 2013 1:54 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Kind of a bad ass team up. Enter the Void's Gasper Noé was hired to direct the video for Nick Cave's "We No Who U R". However, the outcome seems a little underwhelming. It's basically Cave's shadow walking around in the woods for 4 minutes, which actually would have been better for this song. Regardless, I think Cave is pretty f*cking fantastic. Not only are his own projects amazing, but he is a fantastic writer whether it's for film (The Proposition, Lawless), novels, or scores »
