Kurt And Courtney

A characteristically unflinching, daring and contentious work, Nick Broomfield's Kurt and Courtney sheds fascinating new light on the life and death of Nirvana leader and iconic generational spokesperson Kurt Cobain. After interviewing various Cobain associates in an attempt to examine the unexplained circumstances surrounding the singer's apparent suicide, the acclaimed documentarist suddenly finds his progress strenuously obstructed by Courtney Love, Cobain's wife who becomes a fearsome adversary.

Could Love, now a respected Hollywood actress and musician in her own right be somehow implicated in Cobain's untimely demise? Seemingly putting his own life at risk by posing the questions that others dare not ask, Kurt And Courtney is both a compelling search for truth and a revealing and insightful look into Cobain's troubled life. A fascinating examination of power and corruption, it's also a telling peek into the paranoid world of celebrity and a testimony to the importance of free speech and the freedom of the press.
