Documentary 'Nothing Compares' on Sinéad O'Connor to Stream on Showtime
A documentary titled 'Nothing Compares', directed by Kathryn Ferguson, chronicles the rise of Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, focusing on her unique voice and rebellious personality that led to her exile from mainstream pop. The film covers key career moments, including her 1992 performance at Bob Dylan's 30th-anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden, where she was booed and recited Bob Marley's 'War' instead of singing. O'Connor famously tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live. Her song 'Drink Before the War' experienced a revival after being featured in the series 'Euphoria', similar to Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' in 'Stranger Things'. 'Nothing Compares' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and will be available for streaming on Showtime on September 30, 2022.
