Speaking about the project, frontman Robert Smith said “This really was the perfect way to celebrate 40 years of the band. It was a fabulous day none of us will ever forget.”

Tim Pope added “Working alongside Robert for these 37 years of the band’s 40-year history – and also having previously filmed the band for the 35mm ‘In Orange’ 1986 concert film – I wanted cinema-goers to feel like they were in the thick of the action, in the heart of the music. Our film really captures the true power and passion of The Cure’s music for a global audience.”
