Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Seven years before production, 14-year-old Holger Thaarup of Denmark was originally cast as the lead, Blake. He didn't speak any English and Gus Van Sant intended the role to be silent; Van Sant then met 17-year-old Michael Pitt and cast him instead. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: One of the LDS missionaries that visits the house is wearing a light blue shirt. LDS missionaries are only permitted to wear non-decorative white shirts with dark pants/suits, and a conservative tie. The missionaries also carried no pamphlets, visual aids, appointment books, or their own complete sets of scriptures, which is highly unlikely for door-to-door proselytizing. more

Kurt Cobain's death makes you die of boredom., 20 November 2007
5/10
Author: Christian Dechery from Brazil

OK, if the director wanted to send a message of how lonely and out of space was the last three days of Kurt Cobain's mind and surroundings, he does it with great competence.

But he could at least add some plot or story to it, giving perhaps some interesting (and new?) info about the suicide, some dialogs in context. Making Dave Grohl and Novoselik look like junkie homossexuals was really ridiculous. Scenes lasting 10min just showing a plant or a side of the house tells us very little and simply bores me. Most of the time "Kurt" is shown from his back wandering around aimlessly. I'd rather see a documentary about the life of an amoeba.

I recommend for those who are really interested in the life or death of this musical icon to read "Heavier Than Heaven", an excellent book, which could easily be made into a fantastic film.

Gus Van Sant really disappointed me this time. This film sucks!
