Morgen (known for The Kid Stays in the Picture, Crossfire Hurricane and the Oscar-nominated On the Ropes) was with the project for years before it finally began to take shape. Montage of Heck is the intimate, definitive look at Kurt Cobain’s life that fans have waited decades for. Many of us assumed we’d finally heard all there is to hear about the late musician, but Morgen’s feature documentary uses never-before-seen home movies, paintings, demos, video dailies and interviews with Cobain’s closest family and friends (some of whom have never even done an interview until now), as well as animated sequences to offer an unprecedented look through the rocker’s eyes. The mystique and fascination surrounding Nirvana’s notoriously troubled frontman Kurt Cobain has only strengthened over the last 21 years since his death. While some directors ramble about their gratitude towards the festival, or rattle off a long list of thank-yous before their movie plays, Morgen took the stage and simply said, “I know how long some of you have been waiting to see this movie, so let’s just roll it”.
Brett Morgen’s intro at South by Southwest for his new film, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, was one of the shortest I’ve ever witnessed.
