Mutiny in Heaven : The Birthday Party

Directed by Ian White, 2023, 98 Minutes

Hailed as “a one band war,” The Birthday Party with Nick Cave was one of the definitive post-punk groups and goth-rock pioneers, creative and destructive in equal measure. Their incendiary live performances were the stuff of violent, anarchic legend.

Featuring a wealth of rare and unseen archives, original artwork, unreleased tracks, studio footage, animation, and told exclusively by the group’s members, Mutiny in Heaven is the story of epic struggle, artistic genius and total chaos, bringing the band’s own account to the screen for the first time. Featuring Nick Cave, Rowland S. Howard, Mick Harvey, Phill Calvert, and Tracy Pew.
