Kurt Cobain was trapped in a troubled homelife as a child with his parents having divorced, and it wasn't long before he embarked on a tragic path of self-destruction. Deliberately rebellious as a teenager with a lot of pent up anger and frustration, Cobain's creative talents were obvious to those who knew him as he'd constantly be working on songwriting or artwork. The fame of his grunge pioneer band Nirvana brought a lot of dangerous issues including drug use, and it took its toll on his relationship with Courtney Love, with whom he bore a child. It seemed he was happy to be building a family of his own, but his sudden suicide at the age of 27 was not unforeseen for a musician so determined to bring peace to his own mind.
'Cobain: Montage Of Heck' is the first authorized film of the singer's life struggles and has been executively produced by his 22-year-old daughter Frances Bean. It has been directed by the Oscar nominated Brett Morgen ('On the Ropes', 'Chicago 10') and features a range of interviews, never before seen footage and photos, as well as a number of different art pieces and unheard music. It will premiere on HBO on May 4th 2015.
Starring: Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Courtney Love, Krist Novoselic
