Okay, let's talk about showtimes for This Much I Know To Be True. You know, that concert film with Nick Cave and Warren Ellis? The one that's basically a beautiful, intense hug for your ears and eyes?
Finding the right showtime can feel like navigating a maze made of popcorn and overpriced candy. But fear not, intrepid moviegoer! It's not as daunting as Nick Cave's songwriting process, probably.
The Great Showtime Quest
First, the obvious: Google is your friend. Type in "This Much I Know To Be True showtimes near me." Watch the magic happen. Or, you know, watch a list of movie theaters pop up.
But here's where it gets interesting. Remember, this isn't your average blockbuster. Don't expect it to be playing at every single cinema in a 50-mile radius.
Think art house cinemas. Think independent theaters. Think places that serve fancy coffee and have posters for obscure foreign films in the lobby. These are your hunting grounds.
The Surprise Factor
Sometimes, the showtimes are delightfully unexpected. Like finding out your local bowling alley is hosting a screening. (Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea.)
I once drove an hour and a half to see it at a tiny theater above a bakery. The aroma of sourdough bread definitely enhanced the experience. Who knew existential dread paired so well with carbohydrates?
And, because life is a quirky rom-com, the projector broke down halfway through. Nick Cave, even in celluloid form, is apparently too powerful for some technology.
The Community Vibe
One of the best things about seeking out these kinds of showtimes is the sense of community. You're surrounded by people who *get* it.
These are your tribe. People who appreciate the raw emotion and quiet intensity of Cave and Ellis's music. Prepare to nod knowingly at strangers.
After one showing, a group of us ended up debating the merits of different Nick Cave albums in the parking lot until 2 AM. I'm pretty sure I made some lifelong friends that night.
Online Platforms and The Streaming Option
Don't forget to check streaming services! Sometimes, "This Much I Know To Be True" pops up on platforms like MUBI or Criterion Channel for a limited time.
This is your lazy Sunday option. Pajamas, a cup of tea, and Nick Cave's soulful eyes staring back at you. What could be better?
Of course, the downside is you miss out on the communal experience. But hey, you can always tweet your profound thoughts about the film. (Just don't be that person who live-tweets the whole thing.)
The Golden Rule of Showtime Hunting
Finally, a piece of advice that will change your life: check the showtimes *more than once*. Theaters often update their schedules, especially for independent films.
That elusive screening you thought was sold out might suddenly have a few empty seats. Persistence is key, my friends. Persistence and maybe a little bit of luck.
So, go forth and conquer those showtimes! Embrace the adventure, the unexpected detours, and the shared experience of watching two musical geniuses bare their souls on screen. You won't regret it.
And remember, even if you miss the theatrical release, This Much I Know To Be True is a film worth seeking out in any form. It's a reminder that beauty can be found even in the darkest of times.
