About the rise, success and inevitable fall of The Birthday Party, Nick Cave's first band.

Nick Cave has aged like a fine wine over the years, making his iconic status as an unparalleled artist and songwriter enormous. In the exciting new film Mutiny In Heaven, Nick and his first band, The Birthday Party, offer an unfiltered, intimate and compelling exploration of the influential post-punk group that catapulted him onto the world stage. Narrated exclusively by the original band members, the film delves deep into the band's psyche and describes how Nick Cave and his school friends shocked audiences with their confrontational performances, primal screams, gothic horror and anarchic lifestyle.

Featuring never-before-seen personal footage of band members, dynamic animations and breathtaking concert clips, the film offers a sweaty, electrifying front-row look at one of the most legendary live acts. “Destined to become an instant documentary classic.”
