MPR's Cube Critic Euan Kerr joins Jill Riley and Sean McPherson (in for Steve Seel) to talk about a semi-documentary that follows a day in the life of rocker Nick Cave, and a new film about a GLBT group in the 80's raising money for the miners.

20,000 Days on Earth is a new film starring Nick Cave as himself. It's one part music documentary, one part philosophical exploration, one part drama. We're spending a day in the life of Nick Cave, traveling to different continents for concerts, driving around with friends, and writing at his desk.

"You learn a lot about his life, but also about the creative process and how to write a song." Kerr also says there's a huge part about the transformation on that happens when an artist appears on stage.

Also opening is Pride, based on a group of GLBT activists in the '80s who helped raise money for miners. Based on a true, but perhaps not well known story of a group of gay and lesbian people who help miners protest and raise money for them during the Thatcher administration. A heartwarming story, but also the underlying history of the time.

Listen to the full audio above to hear the complete conversation and film reviews.

20,000 Days on Earth is rated R and St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis.

Pride is rated R and is at Edina Cinema, Landmark theaters, and Lagoon Theater.
