A meditation on the late musician and artist Kurt Cobain, based on more than 25 hours of never-before heard audiotaped interviews conducted by journalist Michael Azerrad for his book Come As You Are. Here, Cobain recounts his own life – from his childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame – and offers piercing insights into his life,music and times. Backed by an evocative score and songs from more than 20 artists who influenced Cobain, including Iggie Pop, David Bowie, REM and Queen, and combined with newly filmed images from the Washington cities of Aberdeen, Olympia and Seattle, these conversations reveal a highly personal portrait of one of the most acclaimed artists of our time.
