The story of The Birthday Party's ascent, apex and inevitable collapse, a thrilling tale of epic struggle, artistic genius and total dysfunctionality. Told in the group's own words, MUTINY IN HEAVEN brings the band's story to the screen for the first time.

From humble beginnings in an Australian suburb, "The Birthday Party" grew into one of the most influential bands of their time - and still inspires unwavering respect today. Singer Nick Cave's incendiary voice and guitarist Rowland S. Howard's ground-breaking sonic attacks thrilled audiences around the world. At the time of their inevitable break-up, they were considered the most dangerous band in the world.

Mutiny In Heaven tells the story of the band in their own words and brings it to the screen for the first time. This is a stirring tale of rise and fall, exploring themes of artistic muse, creativity, addiction, fame, interpersonal conflict and the unique relationship between visionary creativity and self-destruction - all underpinned by the black, dry humor of each band member.

With exclusive, incredibly candid interviews, a wealth of rare and previously unseen archive footage, artistic performances, unreleased tracks, studio recordings, animations and multimedia content, the film is as visually rich as it is narratively captivating.
