A new documentary about the late Kurt Cobain will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this month. The film, titled 'About A Son', features commentary from some of 25 hours of previously unreleased audio interviews with the much loved Nirvana lead singer who shot himself in his garage in 1994.
"We didn't want to call it a documentary. We'd call it a non-fiction film because it wasn't really going to trace a journalistic narrative. It became more of an intimate visit with a person who a lot of people thought they understood but probably didn't," Contactmusic quoted journalist Michael Azerrad as saying.
"You're listening to him talk in these very intimate conversations, and you get a feeling that I don't think anyone has ever gotten from Kurt."
"It won't fit into what anyone is expecting about a Kurt Cobain documentary, and it's not a traditional rock doc. There's no archival footage in the film, and Kurt only appears at the very end."
"Basically it's the chance to sit with his voice and listen to him tell his story," Azerrad said.
