Kurt & Courtney is a 1998 documentary film by Nick Broomfield investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain, and allegations of Courtney Love’s involvement in it. The film concludes that there is enough evidence to prove that Cobain was murdered with Courtney’s approval.
As Broomfield investigates the claims surrounding Cobain’s death, his emphasis moves from the conspiracy theories and onto an investigation of Love herself, including an accusation that she supports the suppression of free speech, and her fame after Cobain’s death.
The film was due to play the Sundance Film Festival but Love threatened to sue the festival’s organizers if they screened the film.
Contrary to some opinions posted on this thread, the film isn't the least bit convincing, and it sure as hell isn't entertaining. It's slow, tedious and repetitive even for a documentary. There's about 10 minutes invested in a talentless "singer"/biker dude who clearly doesn't know anything about what happened to Kurt but would like the filmmaker to buy him a six-pack [But he'll settle for a beer.] The two scenes with Cobain's aunt [who really has no theory about how Kurt died] are like watching paint dry and did I mention they're also content-free?
The one worthwhile scene in the movie really has nothing to do with the possible conspiracy theory in KC's death, but it is a hoot, in that the filmmaker reveals the attendees at an ACLU fundraiser honoring Courtney Love for the evil hypocrites they are.
Not much THERE there. Expect the Palin hatchet flick to be the same kind of bilge.
All we really learn from Broomfield's "expose" is that Courtney is a manipulative, vile, beyotch.
