KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK is an authentic and unflinching look into Kurt’s life, art and mind through his own unique lens, bringing you as close to the generation-defining icon as it’s possible to get. This first fully authorized documentary feature blends Cobain’s personal archive of art, music (both his most famous and some that has never been heard), written words, and never-before-seen home movies, with animation and first-person testimony from many voices in Cobain’s life, including family members and his widow, Courtney Love.

Following Kurt from his earliest years in Aberdeen, Wash., through the height of his fame, it creates an intense and powerful cinematic insight into an artist who craved the spotlight even as he rejected the trappings of fame. Those of Kurt’s generation will learn things about him they never knew. Those who’ve discovered the man and his music more recently will understand what makes Kurt the lasting icon that he is.

KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK will open in theaters April 24,in New York at IFC Center, in LA at the Arclight Hollywood, and in Seattle at the SIFF/Egyptian Theater, and will debut MONDAY, MAY 4 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

In honor of the film’s opening weekend in Los Angeles, there will be a variety of promotional activities, including giveaways of concert DVDs as well as a chance to win a tour of the Montage of Heck archive. The companion book, KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK, an Insight Editions publication, will be released May 5 and will be available for advance purchase at the Arclight bookstore.
