Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, One More Time with Feeling is worth clearing space for. One More Time with Feeling approaches its subject with the rigour that makes documentary storytelling worth taking seriously. Andrew Dominik's One More Time With Feeling is a remarkable black and white documentary which chronicles the creation of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' album Skeleton Tree. Originally a performance based concept, the film evolved into something much more significant as Dominik delved into the tragic backdrop of the writing and recording of the album. The result is stark, fragile and raw, and a true testament to an artist trying to find his way through the darkness. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis give the storytelling a level of trust that shows. It hit screens in 2016. One More Time with Feeling lets its subjects speak for themselves rather than shaping them into a predetermined narrative. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want their entertainment to leave them with something, One More Time with Feeling delivers on both counts. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. The access the production gets is remarkable, and the storytelling does full justice to it. Worth watching in order, from the beginning.
