Finally, a glimpse of A.J. Schnack’s Kurt Cobain documentary ‘About a Son’! I really don’t know much about the film other than the fact that it’s narrated by Cobain, using old recordings of an interview conducted by authorized biographer Michael Azerrad for his book ‘Come As You Are’.

The film played at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, but like the asshole I am, I missed it. However, my good friend Greg, (fellow podcaster over at Film Junk) managed to catch the film and seemed to enjoy it a great deal. This clip sort of reminds me of ‘Zoo’, with it’s beautiful photography complimented by Cobain’s narration.
The film is currently still making its festival run having just made it’s north west premiere in Seattle on at the beginning of this month. Schnack has also posted the track listing for the soundtrack of the film over at his personal blog.
The album features an impressive list of artists and will be released on indie heavyweight Barsuk Records.
Here’s the track listing:
01 Steve Fisk & Ben Gibbard - “Overture”
