Montage of Heck

The other day I managed to watch Montage of Heck - the documentary about Kurt Cobain's life.
I've been meaning to watch it for a while and as a big fan of Nirvana, I was really happy I did.
The film itself was extremely interesting yet very chilling, watching the struggles Cobain had to deal with throughout his short life.

The animated component of the film, set to Cobain’s audio recordings, was led by Dutch filmmaker Hisko Hulsing. Hulsing confirmed that he and his crew of 18 animators made about six thousand drawings in a five month period, with Hulsing himself painting some 55 oil-painted backgrounds.
It was a really nice art style which fitted really well with the mood of the film and the recordings.







The film also features some of Kurt's artwork brought to life by filmmaker Stefan Nadelman.
These were very interesting to watch as it gives you an insight into his mind, which was clear was very disturbed.



I highly recommend this film for any Nirvana fan or someone who's just interested in music in the 90's in general. It's quite long at 2 hours but very interesting throughout.
