Plot – This is the first authorized documentary about Kurt Cobain, the leader of "Nirvana" and the artist that changed the rock scene of the nineties forever, giving birth to the new musical generation of "grunge". The documentary, produced by Kurt's daughter Frances Bean Cobain, opens the frontman's personal and largely unknown archive: art, words, music, cartoons, home movies and interviews with family members and close friends. “Cobain: Montage of Heck” brings the audience closer to the life, art and soul of Kurt, creating an unforgettable link with a figure capable of inspiring a generation. The first fully authorized documentary, the film collects and processes Cobain's enormous archive, switching between art, music (both his most famous songs together with exclusive recording), texts, home-made movies, all combined with animations and meaningful interviews of family and friends. Following his musical path from his early years in Aberdeen (Washington), the viewer is in contact with the powerful and intense life of an artist able to manage and shape his own image, even if aware of the dangerous pitfalls of fame. His peers will learn sides of his life that they never knew. Those who have discovered the man and his music more recently will understand what makes him an immortal icon. Just like the legendary singer of Nirvana, “Cobain: Montage of Heck” is an authentic work, intimate and resolute, which will enter the minds of the spectators to remain there long after the end of the film credits.
All actors – Aaron Burckhard, Chad Channing, Don Cobain, Jenny Cobain, Kim Cobain, Kurt Cobain, Dale Crover, Jason Everman, Dave Foster, Dave Grohl, Courtney Love, Tracey Marander
