Since the official (and heartbreaking) trailer was released for the forthcoming documentary Montage Of Heck, millions of Kurt Cobain fans have been hanging out for its official release which has just been confirmed to screen at select Australian cinemas.
Hitting the big screen from Thursday 7 May, Montage Of Heck will be shown at different theatres in Australia for a very limited time.
The first taste of Cobain: Montage of Heck runs for exactly two and-a-half minutes, at long-last giving viewers an inside glimpse of what to expect from the already universally revered visual document of one of music’s most celebrated and dearly missed characters.
From the moment the chilling xylophone beats the tune of ‘All Apologies’ and an extremely young Cobain questions ‘who are you?’ before innocently responding ‘I’m Kurt Cobain’ as video displays him blowing out his “2” birthday candles, one can feels certain that this is going to be a harrowing and beautifully created piece on the Nirvana frontman’s life.
Montage Of Heck will feature “dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as perviously unheard Cobain originals,” as well a “no-holds-barred access to Kurt Cobain’s archives, home to his never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, journals, demos, personal archives, family archives and songbooks.”
On the creation of the upcoming feature, Morgen commented, “I started work on this project eight years ago. Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth. However, once I stepped into Kurt’s archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media.”
