Kurt Cobain, About a sound, the new movie tribute to the singer
The concept is bold: the movie Kurt Cobain, About a sound is based only on recordings of interviews never broadcast before. He is the leader of the group Nirvana who tells himself from his childhood to his success. This intimate and moving portrait of the artist is all the more touching when we know that he took his own life in 1994.
Director AJ Scnack has created a closeness to the grunge singer, without any outside intervention: Kurt Cobain he tells himself. A deep, authentic story that is similar to a biography. The childhood in Aberdeen, the search for success, the love of music, the galley, the celebrity ... All the strong and personal subjects spend there.
If you're a fan of the artist or music in general, you'll be taped by this movie who immerses you in the most intimate life of Kurt Cobain, gone from a broke rocker to an international icon.
Through the story of his life, it is a certain period in the history of the United States that scrolls. A generation of Americans who grew up in the midst of the violent social and cultural crises of the 1970s and 1980s.
Kurt's story resembles that of his fans, but the movie also reveals the lucid and meditative character of the artist who had no illusions about celebrity, money, family ... movie is not a documentary about the Nirvana group. It contains no interviews with relatives or acquaintances or group soundtracks.
Some photos appear, of Charles Peterson, whose photographs of the concerts of Nirvana serve as archives. An exhibition of these photos will be held at the Chappe Gallery in Paris from November 1st to December 1st, 2008.
