three stars

Kurt and Courtney

(BMG)

British documentarian Nick Broomfield's film is really about Courtney Love -- the bad old Courtney who married the drug-tarnished icon of a generation rather than the new, reasonably well-mannered, Versace-wearing movie star. You can't blame her for wanting to cut all ties with the past Broomfield illuminates, particularly the theory that she may have orchestrated Kurt Cobain's "suicide." Then again, you can hardly blame Broomfield for wanting to shine some light into a murk that surrounded the king and queen of a once thriving alternative nation.
