Description

Based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard interviews with Cobain, this is the definitive account of one of the most important musical artists of the Twentieth Century. Cobain recounts his own life - from early childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame - offering a piercing insight into his life, music, and times. These interviews have never before been made public and reveal a highly personal, intimate, and moving portrait of an artist much discussed but never truly understood.

    I'm not sure about the other reviews on here but for me it was finally nice to hear Kurt talking about his life rather than his friend for two weeks and his milkman and every other person looking to cash in on their tenuous connections. This documentary maybe should have been released on audio only as the visual aspect adds nothing. Still, you can listen to this whilst doing other things and still have the same experience. The film humanises a very publicly dissected individual and is highly recommended for big Nirvana and Kurt fans. Immeasurably better than the appallingly bad Last Days.

    This film has no right to exist. There is no visual material at all. A more appropriate medium would have been the audiobook. And then we could have just looked at pictures of the logging industry on Google. Really. Not a film. A radio interview with random visual stock shots overlaid.
