Kurt Cobain's life story comes to life in 'Montage of Heck'

While his early life saw the late Kurt Cobain as a happy-go-lucky child with a profound creative talent, the years following his parents' divorce were nothing short of tempestuous for the young musician. Though still hungry for music, songwriting and drawing, Cobain developed struggles with anger and rejection throughout his teenage years, setting him up for a success that would ultimately bring about his downfall. And while it seemed his astonishing success with grunge pioneers Nirvana in the 90s was a high point in his life, not to mention his relationship with Courtney Love and the birth of their daughter Frances, it only led to a tragic end.

'Cobain: Montage Of Heck' explores the years before his suicide, featuring priceless home movies of Cobain as a child, including receiving his first toy guitar at the age of two, as well as later images of his daughter and wife and their apparent domestic bliss. There's montages of never before seen photos, incredible visual art from animators Hisko Hulsing and Stefan Nadelman, footage from live shows and Cobain's own amazing artwork, not to mention interviews with some of the people who were closest to him: Nirvana bandmates Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, and Courtney Love herself being just a few.
