The most gifted and troubled rock star (a term he hated) of his generation is rescued from caricature in a gutsy, expressionist, immersive spiral into his artistic mind. Kurt Cobain was a conflicted soul but compulsively talented, filling journals with drawings and tapes with home recordings. This material is lovingly sifted by Brett Morgen (2007 True Vision honoree), who masterfully wields animation and collage to reveal never-before-seen sides of Kurt and bring us to a kind of closure about his beautiful, terrible life. No deification here, no grand claims, but a lot of evidence that Kurt Cobain was damn talented, not to mention a more loving father than he had any right to be. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck is created with tremendous panache, pairing Kurt’s genius with a passionate filmmaking vision. (PS)
