HBO's new Kurt Cobain documentary is filled with home video footage, including a Courtney Love sex tape
Through the full support of Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, Cobain's family, and bandmates, director Brett Morgen ("The Kid Stays in the Picture") spent seven years engrossed in cassette tapes, videos, and Cobain's journals to make the first authorized film on the face of '90s grudge rock.
Morgen dug so deep, in fact, he uncovered something Love thought no longer existed.
"Somehow Brett found the sex tape," Love admitted to the audience when she took the stage with Morgen following Sunday's screening.
"Me and Kurt only had this one tape," she said, "so we recorded over and over [on the same tape]. Everyone makes one sex tape once in their lives and we did."
With an embarrassed look, Love added of Morgen, "I thought he'd never catch this and he caught it."
"Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck" is currently playing at the Tribeca Film Festival and will air on HBO May 4.
