Who killed Kurt Cobain? After watching “Kurt and Courtney,” a recent documentary, the better question is: who cares?Director Nick Broomfield, in his quest to find the “real” Cobain, ended up making a documentary full of worthless interviews and conspiracy theories of his death. Music by Nirvana, Cobain’s band, is not heard at all due to legal pressure by his widow, Courtney Love.The movie starts out as a biography on Cobain’s life, with his aunt, the only credible source in the whole film, telling stories and playing recordings of Cobain as a toddler, singing at a family function. Broomfield and his cameraman drive around the Pacific Northwest in search of more stories on Cobain’s life. A former girlfriend, dubbed the “only true love of his life before Nirvana’s success,” takes the audience around her apartment, tells a few stories, and displays some of Cobain’s artwork. As the interviews continue, though, the sources become more random, appear to be unreliable, and in most cases, strung out. One girl who claimed to know Cobain and Love through drug connections is interviewed many times throughout the movie. Near the end, she fails to produce photographs she promised Broomfield, which leaves the audience questioning not only the girl’s authenticity, but the movie’s whole purpose.An extremely weird character, Hank Harrison, Love’s father, tells Broomfield he knows Courtney had something to do with Cobain’s death. Harrison is so convinced about this conspiracy theory that he has authored two books dedicated to its cause. Harrison obviously does not have a good relationship (or any relationship at all) with his daughter because he has deemed destroying Love his main mission in life.A former nanny of Cobain and Love’s child, Frances, appears for her first interview in the documentary. She looks young, strung out, and full of fear – fear of Love, that is. This nanny, while drinking a beer, tells of Cobain’s last few months of life and the nagging he endured by Love and her obsession with his will.Other characters include Dylan Carson, Cobain’s “best friend,” who happened to buy the gun that ended his life. He too was strung out and visibly frightened by Love. A potbellied, rude, pornagraphy-loving rocker, El Duce, claims Love offered him $50,000 to “whack” Cobain. He said he regrets not taking her up on the offer, and oddly enough, before the end of filming the movie, Broomfield gets a letter saying El Duce got “whacked” himself – by a train.”Kurt and Courtney” does not have a direction, plot, or one good reason for an audience member to sit for an hour and a half watching drug addicts and other unreliable sources spew nonsense. The Love conspiracy theories about her involvement with Cobain’s death are explored, but are denied by Broomfield at the end of the movie. He concludes that Kurt Cobain did, in fact, commit suicide because the evidence of the theories does not add up. The suicide story is supported by Cobain’s aunt, who reveals even as a teenager, Cobain was suicidal. She also says the suicide note found by his body was written to “Bada,” his imaginary friend from his childhood. The audience is left once again wondering “what’s the point?” Suicide was declared the cause of death in 1994 when he was found shot in the head.Broomfield, who was under constant threats of losing the funding for this movie, eventually did lose. Love, along with MTV, denounced the movie. It really did not matter, though, because more money would have meant a longer movie about nothing.
