KURT COBAIN: ABOUT A SON - One Week Only! - Opens November 30th
96 mins, Rated NR
"A landmark documentary. This is how Terence Malick would tackle the
story. A meditative experience and unlike anything I have ever seen
before in a music documentary."
- Jason Whyte, eFilmCritic.com
An intimate and moving meditation on the late musician and artist
Kurt Cobain, based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard
audiotaped interviews conducted with Cobain by noted music journalist
Michael Azerrad for his book "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana."
In the film, Kurt Cobain recounts his own life - from his childhood
and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings
with explosive fame - and offers often piercing insights into his
life, music, and times. The conversations heard in the film have
never before been made public and they reveal a highly personal
portrait of an artist much discussed but not particularly well
understood.
The film is not a documentary about Nirvana, the band Kurt fronted,
nor is it even a documentary in the traditional sense, but a
profound, almost dream-like account of Cobain's own successes and
failures, thoughts and experiences, allowing the audience
unprecedented intimacy with a legendary figure in popular culture.
For this unique film, director AJ Schnack assembled selections from
the Azerrad interviews and merged them with newly filmed, evocative
imagery of the three cities in Washington state that played a major
role in Cobain's life: Aberdeen, Olympia and Seattle.
These expressionistic images, combined with a haunting original score
by Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and Nirvana producer
Steve Fisk, as well as the music of 20 artists who influenced or
touched Cobain during his life - including Queen, the Melvins, David
Bowie and Scratch Acid -- come together to create an extraordinary
look at a man who went from impoverished indie rocker to world-famous
tabloid figure in less than a year.
