Kurt Cobain: About A Son

One day before Kurt Cobain's 41st Birthday, Shout! Factory will release Kurt Cobain About A Son on DVD. The film is a portrait of the late musician and artist Kurt Cobain as told entirely in his own words. The film, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2006, will be released on DVD from Shout! Factory on February 19, 2008.

It is based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard audio interviews conducted with Cobain by noted music journalist Michael Azerrad for his book Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana. In the film, Kurt Cobain recounts his own life – from his childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame – and offers often piercing insights into his life, music, and times. The conversations featured in the film have never before been made public and reveal a highly personal portrait of an artist much discussed but not particularly well understood.

The film features music by David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Queen.
