Canopy Favorites: The Puzzle That Was Cobain

There’s never been a more fitting title for a movie than ‘Montage of Heck’. This long awaited Kurt Cobain documentary is simply a work of art. Taking excerpts from his personal diary, both written and recorded, and translating them into an artistic story only fitting for this rebellious rock legend. Director Brett Morgen creates a fascinating assembly of filmmaking genres that are transcribed into puzzle pieces that ultimately reveal intricate parts of Cobain’s undiscovered and disturbed life. Mind bending stuff. The score was amazing, as expected, but done in such a unique way, transforming iconic Nirvana tracks to match the specific periods of his life (imagine a lullaby version of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’).

This fast paced, wickedly crafty experience takes you from literary genius, to animated horror, culminating in a compilation of chaos, also known as a ‘Montage of Heck’. Check it out. Keep the lights on. Have a drink on hand. Enjoy.
