A film featuring Nick Cave recently premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Called 20,000 Days on Earth, it portrays a 24-hour period in Cave’s life (fictionalized). The film won two awards at the Festival and was praised by the Jury as “being arguably the most exciting film in competition. . . . This is documentary storytelling at its most visionary and mind-blowing”.
The title is taken from a calculation that Nick Cave made of the number of days in his life to that time. I have a financial calculator that I use in my work which counts the number of days between two given dates. I had hoped to mark my own 20,000th day, but I missed it.
