We invite you to the special screenings of the film 'The Birthday Party: Rebellion in Heaven' – one of the best music documentaries of recent years, available on the birthday weekend of its frontman, Nick Cave.
Nick Cave and his first band The Birthday Party are the subjects of the cinematic documentary 'The Birthday Party: Rebellion in Heaven,' recognized by the influential newspaper The Guardian as one of the best music documentaries of recent years. The Birthday Party was one of the darkest post-punk bands that emerged in the early 1980s, about which it was said that neither John Cale nor Alfred Hitchcock were as terrifying.
Directed by Ian White, this captivating rock concert-like spectacle tells the story of overcoming obstacles, artistic genius, and total dysfunction. The story of the rise, success, and inevitable fall of The Birthday Party includes candid conversations with the musicians, snippets of previously unseen recordings, songs that were not included on any album, and a vast wealth of diverse works by the band members. 'The Birthday Party: Rebellion in Heaven' is a tale of unparalleled creativity, the price of fame, and self-destruction, woven with the band's characteristic dark humor. The viewer gets a unique insight into their dreams, hopes, and motivations that led to the creation of one of the most influential music groups in the world. 🎸🥁
