It's finally here, the documentary of the grunge god and
iconic musician, Kurt Cobain. The documentary is directed by Brett Morgen who
has worked on it since 2007 when the Nirvana singer's widow Courtney Love
approached him with the idea. It is the first documentary about Kurt Cobain to
be made with the cooperation of his family. Morgen and his team were given
access to the entirety of Cobain's personal and family archives. The
documentary includes footage from various Nirvana performances and unheard
songs, as well as unreleased home movies, recordings, artwork, photography,
journals, demos, and songbooks. Morgen used the interviews in the film Lenny as
a model for the interviews in the film. The film's title, Montage of Heck,
takes its name from a musical collage that was created by Cobain with a 4-track
cassette recorder in about 1988, of which there are two versions; one is about
thirty-six minutes long and the other about eight minutes long. Several of the
film's scenes were animated by Stefan Nadelman and Hisko Hulsing. The film was
co-produced by HBO Documentary Films and Universal Pictures International
Entertainment Content Group. The documentary airs on 4 May on HBO in America,
however, there is now news as yet when or on what channel it will air in South
Africa.
