I WAS a big Nirvana fan, and Kurt Cobain's tragic death was a huge shock to me.
AJ Schnack's "Kurt Cobain: About A Son" is a documentary that eschews soundbites and instead gives a quiet, intimate look at the man behind the music. Listen to the story of Kurt's life in his own voice, in these interviews conducted by Michael Azerrad for his 1993 book "Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana."
Interestingly enough, the documentary supposedly doesn't feature any song performed by Nirvana. Instead, the soundtrack includes the music of different bands that influenced Kurt, such as Queen, Black Sabbath, David Bowie and Mudhoney. The film's original score is composed by Steve Fisk and Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard.
Here's the official trailer on MySpaceTV.
