Mutiny in Heaven: The Birthday Party
From humble beginnings in a suburb of Australia, "The Birthday Party" evolved into one of the most influential groups of their time and continues to be respected today. The rebellious voice of vocalist Nick Cave and the pioneering sound assaults of guitarist Rowland S. Howard captivated audiences worldwide. At the time of their inevitable dissolution, they were considered the world's most dangerous band. Mutiny In Heaven tells the story of the band in their own words and brings them to the screen for the first time. This is an exciting rise and fall story addressing subjects such as artistic inspiration, creativity, addiction, fame, interpersonal conflicts, and the unique relationship between visionary creativity and self-destruction - all supported by the dark, dry humor of each band member.
The film provided audiences with both a fun and in-depth experience. Viewers were captivated by the band's impressive performances and stories, and also gained a unique insight into the inner worlds, challenges, and artistic processes of the band members.
The film was shot in Melbourne, Australia.
