In Brett Morgen's Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck — screened to Australian media this week — Nirvana cofounder/bassist Krist Novoselic stresses, "Kurt hated being humiliated. He hated it. He hated it."
Many of the subjects interviewed throughout the documentary comment on Cobain's oversensitive tendencies, including Courtney Love.
Love, who gave Morgen the keys to her storage facility — which houses some of Cobain's archival material — insists she never cheated on Cobain, adding that although she thought about and could have done so on one specific occasion in London, she never made the phone call to go through with it.
Love explains that although it never happened, Cobain somehow knew she had considered cheating, which led to the Rohypnol overdose that saw Cobain slipping into a coma in March 1994.
Love therefore deduces that Cobain's knowledge that she had even considered cheating would have resulted in feelings of "severe betrayal rather than rejection" in her late husband. Cobain tragically took his own life a month later.
Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck will be released in cinemas across Australia for a limited run on 7 May, just a few days after its premiere on HBO in the States.
