"Kurt & Courtney"
Directed by Nick Broomfield
Rated R
95 minutes
1997
Kurt Cobain was a leader of the grunge music
movement and the singer for Nirvana. He died from an apparent suicide.
This movie is about the investigation of the
suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. We
have to agree that drug addicts don't usually die
the way Kurt Cobain did. The disturbing thought is
that it is easy to blame a drug addict for his/her
own death and thereby make murder easier to
commit.
Courtney Love comes off looking terrible. It would
be hard to imagine how she could come off worse.
The rumor goes that she would get more money from
killing Kurt Cobain than to let him divorce her.
With her own father and private detective tending
to implicate her and a nanny who says someone
drove Kurt Kobain to suicide or killed him,
Courtney Love's name looks like mud. There is even
a man who claims Courtney Love offered $50,000 to
kill Kurt Cobain.
In 2004, Courtney Love is running in and out of
court for minor criminal charges. It's hard to say
what is for the benefit of her bad-girl image that
makes money and what is real. However, Kurt Kobain
is dead, and that is sick.
