Twenty-one years after Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain took his life in April 1994, the first authorised documentary about the rock legend has been released.

The documentary “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck”, by Oscar-nominated film-maker Brett Morgen, was made with Kurt Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, in the role of executive producer. The documentary, is named after a mixtape Kurt Cobain made in 1988.

According to a BBC interview with Brett Morgen, the project was launched eight years ago in 2007, when Kurt Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, approached him about making a film: “She liked what I’d done with a documentary I’d made called The Kid Stays in the Picture, about Hollywood producer Robert Evans. She asked if I’d be interested in doing something on Kurt. When I said yes, she brought me crates and boxes containing all of Kurt’s stuff and just told me to go ahead, there were no restrictions placed on me whatsoever. She didn’t see anything until I showed her my edit.”

That archive material included 4,000 pages of Kurt Cobain’s journals, as well as home videos, audio tracks, and also audio diaries Cobain recorded from a young age.

Brett Morgen adds: “As a fan, there is something cathartic watching the movie – it’s like meeting a friend and we get to be with him. It’s a very joyful film as it’s a celebration of Kurt’s creativity but the pathos comes when you realise the film’s over and that’s it. You were just getting to know him, and there’s no more, and there will never be any more.”

Kurt Cobain’s body was found at his Seattle home on the 8th April 1994 – he had committed suicide three days earlier at the age of 27. The intervening 21 years have not diminished Nirvana’s appeal – by 2014, Nirvana had sold 75 million albums around the world.
