Kurt Cobain About a Son

Reflections by Nirvana's Frontman

In this fittingly unconventional documentary that doesn't adhere to the usual approach, director AJ Schnack (who also did Gigantic - a doc about They Might Be Giants) lets the camera soak in the locations, terrain, and landscapes that Kurt Cobain lived in, using a previous interview with Cobain as the sole narration. The result is a hypnotic immersion that is deeply personal and honest, creating an indelible impression.
