Project Detail

Nothing Compares

Synopsis

NOTHING COMPARES is the story of Sinéad O’Connor’s phenomenal rise to worldwide fame, and how her iconoclastic personality would result in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on her prophetic and challenging behaviour from 1987 to 1993, the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless trailblazer, through a contemporary feminist lens.
