‘Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck’ – Shifter

About Cobain almost everything had been said, written and seen. It does not take up music lover or a big Nirvana fan to meet the unprecedented stories of Kurt, these depart from its adolescence disturbed by their parents’ divorce or the bomb relationship with Courtney Love and mutual addition to heroin, just expired (within the possible) for the love of daughter French .

Most of what we see in Montage Of Heck are repetitions of matter studied by average over the last twenty years, with the difference that this is now in soapy by himself and seven of his closest. Father, mother, sister, wife, stepmother, ex-girlfriend and bandmate gather in front of the first cameras to tell – with the possible honesty. – The story of the last man-myth of rock n ‘roll

The research in family archives – started in 2007 by director Brett Morgen at the request of Courtney Love – was the shooter departure for this tour over a new world, an alien world in which the notion of sanity ever enrolled in the local dictionary, and the dialect found himself understood by very few, or even by none. Krist Novoselic (Nirvana bassist) says at one point that “the signs were all there”, but that no one was able to understand in time to prevent the inevitable.

During the two-hour documentary (many sausages filled the middle, say) are pierced us – through the frames, audio records, doodles and daily insane and told in the first person – the neuroses that led Kurt trying to end its life in three different moments of his life and culminating in his suicide in the year 94. Montage of Heck , like puzzle, will joining the fragments of a shattered life to 9 years, who never would recover and autopsy, with some hot and efabulação cloths, the legacy of Cobain.

But do not fully withdraw its laurels to Morgen. A director who can join with the help of Frances Bean, all relevant characters in the life of the leader of Nirvana deserve – only for the initiative and power congregation – our reverence and our thanks. We do not leave, however, noted the bleaching (read “washing hands”) of Courtney Love in the face of her husband’s death. Cigarette in hand and ultra-dressed up, Yoko Ono 90s gradually discarding the influence it had on drug abuse by her husband, is reviewing it up like a mother “stiff as a fiddle” and ready to raise a daughter within a home shaken by emotional instability.

The beautification of narcotic parenting and mea culpa Wendy and Don can parade lightly by the inattention of many, but not passed unnoticed here . Despite the success in the storytelling by illustrating and empowerment of works produced by Cobain, the film is not getting lost in the biasing characteristic of official documentaries and authorized by the families of heroes already parties.

It was expected less morning in the telling of the true and ultimate history of the generation flannel idol, but do not let Montage of Heck to be a valid and legitimate work in growing universe of rockumentários, especially the discovery, among cassettes, the home version of “And I Love Her” . There has both must watch and Control , but satisfy the curiosity of those who know the history superficially and who want to take to clean the history of “death or suicide? “.
