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.
