The death of rock idol Kurt Cobain shocked his fans tremendously, and despite its official ruling as a suicide, there have been a number of allegations since (including a couple of paperback books) insinuating that more sinister forces were at work. Beginning with a revealing and often poignant focus on Kurt's early years, the film continues on a voyage of discovery that brings Broomfield in touch with the biggest sideshow of characters (sources, family and friends, and interviewees) this side of the circus. Ultimately, when Broomfield decides to question Courtney Love about her possible involvement in Cobain's death, the film becomes a self-conscious commentary on documentary filmmaking and tabloid journalism.
