2015 would have marked the 48th birthday of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, and in April the first fully authorised documentary about the singer is set to hit the big screen.

Cobain: Montage of Heck

Cobain: Montage of Heck

Cobain: Montage of Heck is one of the most anticipated music documentaries of the year, as Brett Morgen returns to the director's chair for the film.

Morgen has been behind a series of documentaries during his career, including The Kid Stays in the Picture and Chicago 10, and this is his first film since Crossfire Hurricane back in 2012.

Cobain: Montage of Heck blends Cobain's personal archive of art, written word, music (both his most famous and some that's never been heard), and never before-seen home movies, with animation and revelatory interviews from his family and closest confidantes.

Following Kurt from his earliest years in Aberdeen, WA, through the height of his fame, it creates an intense and powerful cinematic insight into an artist who craved the spotlight even as he rejected the trappings of fame,

Those of Kurt's generation will learn things about him they never knew. Those who've discovered the man and his music more recently will understand what makes Kurt the lasting icon that he is.

Just like the legendary frontman of Nirvana himself, COBAIN: Montage of Heck is authentic, visceral and unflinching. It will get into your head and stay there long after the end credits roll.

Cobain: Montage of Heck is released 10th April.
