What Distant Sky Is About

The film records a concert given at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen in October 2017. Nick Cave and his band, on tour after a gap of three years, play the pieces from the new album alongside the older repertoire. That album had been made after a heavy loss, and it sets the atmosphere of the concert; what passes between the audience and the stage is not the usual relation of a concert. The recording gives the performance as a single night and never turns into a documentary about a tour. The business of a concert recording is not to stage the event again but to keep it as it was, and the choice here goes that way. David Barnard’s hundred and thirty five minute recording was completed in 2018.
