Kurt Cobain: About a Son Movie

KURT COBAIN ABOUT A SON
directed by AJ Schnack , is released on DVD on 31st March 2008 by Revolver Entertainment.
Based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard, audio-taped interviews with Kurt Cobain conducted by music journalist Micheal Azerrad for his book Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana, this intimate and moving film recounts the late artist and musician’s life in his own words.
Shot entirely on 35mm film, Schnack brings Cobain’s life to vivid detail, offering a first hand account of Cobain’s own successes and failures, thoughts and experiences from his childhood and adolescence, to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with fame. Through Cobain’s recounting, the film offers a piercing insight into one of the most interesting and important cultural figures of the late 20th century and a specific period of American history.
Kurt Cobain About a Son enjoyed critical success upon its theatrical release, winning a string of award. These include:
• Maysles Brothers Award, Best Documentary at 29th Annual Starz Denver Film Festival • Cinematic Vision Award at AFI/Discovery Channel Silverdocs, • Best Documentary at San Diego Film Festival • Best International Documentary at In-Edit Documentary Festival Barcelona • Nominated for a Truer Than Fiction Award at the Independent’s Spirit Awards
“For me, Kurt was the first person of my generation to speak on the societal changes that we had seen in the previous decades – divorce, changing gender roles, violence, the corporatization of the small town – and he did so perceptively and often with anger. And it was sort of amazing that he was so willing to give voice to controversial topics like rape and gay rights, yet he was so uncomfortable in the harsh glare of the public eye.”
