23 minutes to witness a gothic punk deity being born. Bring eyeliner.
Direction
Raw, unpolished footage that feels stolen from a better documentary.
Production
Archival gold: young Cave, pre-icon, still becoming.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This era captures Cave's literal reinvention — he fled Australia to escape his reputation, then built a darker one in Berlin and London. The film documents an artist actively murdering his past selves.
The 1978-1998 window is crucial: it ends just before 'The Boatman's Call' made Cave a household name for sad people everywhere. You're watching the underground years that cults are built on.
