Movie review - "About a Man" (2007) ***1/2

Intriguing doco on Kurt Cobain done using his own voice over from taped interviews, put over various images of places and people like people he is talking about (but not the actual people), many of whom stare at the camera Baraka style. They don't use Nirvana music but play lots of influences on them. It took a while to adjust but once I did I really liked it. He was a mixed up dude, poor Kurt - no wonder he offed himself. It seems the only healthy thing he got much pleasure out of in life was his music and when that became a chore there was nothing.
