COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK (2015)

BRETT MORGEN

Plot

Following Cobain from his earliest years in Aberdeen, WA, through the height of his fame, a visceral and detailed cinematic insight of an artist at odds with his surroundings emerges. While Cobain craved the spotlight even as he rejected the trappings of fame, his epic arc depicts a man who stayed true to his earliest punk rock convictions, always identifying with the "outsider" and ensuring the music came first. A long time in coming, this is a genuinely worthy documentary about one of the most iconic musicians of the last half century.
