Kurt & Courtney
Directed by Nick Broomfield
Produced by Strength Ltd.
A probing, melancholic documentary investigation into the life and death of Kurt Cobain, built on interviews and conflicting accounts that resist easy answers.
After rocker Kurt Cobain's death, ruled a suicide, a film crew arrives in Seattle to make a documentary. Director Nick Broomfield talks to lots of people. Portraits emerge: a shy, slight Kurt, weary of touring, embarrassed by fame, hooked on heroin; an out-going Courtney, dramatic, controlling, moving from groupie to star.
