The documentary film by Brett Morgen, “Cobain: Montage of Heck” will be presented in Italian Première at Bif&st, Saturday March 21^st at 4 pm at Teatro Petruzzelli (entry fee: € 1,00). The film will then be released by Universal Pictures International Italy on the 24^th and 25^th of March. It is the first fully-authorized documentary film about the Nirvana band leader Kurt Cobain, icon of the music history of the Nineties. The film, produced by Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Cobain and Courtney Love, leads us right into the frontman’s private archive, with mostly unreleased materials: thoughts, words, unheard music, pictures and footages never seen before, intertwined with interviews to friends and relatives. In the first part of the film, drawings and art sketches by Cobain himself, are interchanged with computer animations realized by the director.

Nicknamed “the mad scientist” of documentary filmmaking, Brett Morgen worked over this project for eight years: writing, producing, directing and supervising the editing.
