Kurt Cobain: About a Son

Kurt Cobain About A Son is a rock ’n’ roll film unlike any other. There are no cable-TV contrivances. No celebrity sound bites. No attempts to mine the grunge aesthetic. Instead, director AJ Schnack has created something quite close to an autobiography of Kurt Cobain. The documentary draws upon a series of audiotaped conversations between Cobain and music writer Michael Azerrad over 1992 and 1993, recorded for Azerrad’s book Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana. Just one year later, Cobain had killed himself.
