Buzz Osbourne, founding member of the Melvins and longtime friend of Kurt Cobain, has quite a few quibbles with the new documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck. “People need to understand that 90 percent of Montage of Heck is BA. Total BS,” he declares in a review of the film for The Talkhouse.
The documentary, directed by Brett Morgan, has been widely praised for creating an intimate portrait of the late Nirvana frontman through the use of Cobain’s own home movies, journals and audio recordings. The fact that much of the information in the film comes directly from Cobain might lend it some credence, but Osborne says that’s where the problem lies. “That’s the one thing no one gets about Cobain — he was a master of jerking your chain.”
