ABOUT THE FILM

This documentary is a fascinating, unconventional, and altogether mesmerizing examination of the ’90s rock god who fronted the Seattle grunge-rock band Nirvana before committing suicide in April 1994. Given access to all of Cobain’s private files by the rocker’s widow, Courtney Love, and empowered by his now-22-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, Morgen started working on the film way back in 2007, and the eight-year project is unlike any other documentary screening at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, or any other film festival, for that matter. Montage of Heck pieces Cobain’s journal entries, audio recordings, performance footage, old on-camera interviews, and the Cobain family’s homemade Super 8 films all together with new interviews, including ones with Love and Cobain’s mother, sister, father, and stepmother.
