376 Days (Nick Cave: Keep it Movin’) takes viewers on an intimate exploration of acclaimed artist Nick Cave’s life and creative process as he prepares for a retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, marking the culmination of his illustrious 40-year career. The focus extends to an extraordinary 80-piece couture fashion performance titled “The Color Is,” which beautifully celebrates themes of gender identity and acceptance.

Nazaire-Miller’s inspiring documentary offers an unfiltered glimpse into Cave’s authentic vulnerability and humanity as both an artist and a cherished member of his community. It’s a testament to the profound love and support that surrounds him. 376 Days confidently signals that Cave’s body of work will continue to resonate and leave an indelible mark on the art world for generations to come.
