a film loosely based on the last days of Kurt Cobain's life...but not acutally about Cobain
im not sure how this will work but it sounds intruiging
it premiers at the cannes film festival and is directed by gus van zandt who directed good will hunting...the psycho remake and drug store cowboy among other films
the character is called "Blake" and is the Cobainalike

just saw the film thought it was a masterpiece. I think they portrayed cobain just right . he went from a articulate genius to a mumbling suicidal piss ant on the verge of suicide. id give it 9/10 if they took out that homo sex scene god that was gross. but i guess they wanted to show how cobain wasnt homo phobic or whatever. i thought his suicide scene was done well, its not as sad as i thought it would be.

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't even want to waste my time reviewing it, but I might take the time to recollect the film in a day or two.
I watched it a few days ago, after about halfway through I got bored and went to bed, on account I had charity work today for the homeless, and was worn out.
The old lady gets access to early released DVDs from a lady she works with at the hospitol, and she just so happened to pick this one up.
Good morning kmc.

I absolutely adored Last Days, really enjoyed it, filmed beautifully. Fan of Gus Van Sant films, good end to a 'trilogy'. Will be buying the dvd to add to Elephant and Gerry. I really do enjoy his experimental films.
I honestly don't know how anyone could derive any enjoyment out of something so incredibly trite. Van Zant's a one trick pony, which means his "Death Trilogy" was something he adopted from fans, masking his laziness to do anything 1/2 way original since "Good Will Hunting", instead putting his own spin on things he's absolutely clueless on, and tossing in homages to Gregg Araki with pointless "surprise" scenes of homosexuality.
I rarely get "angry" with films, but this one was so worthless. Why make a movie about someone when you're unfamiliar with the subject, and when said subject was totally empty? He could have made a film about a balled up piece of paper being tossed into a waste basket time after time, having never made it into the basket, and it would have had the same effect emotionally.
Tossing in the suicide scene at the end was sporatic and very empty. Like a "Hey, this was a movie about Kurt Cobain afterall, you guys!" kind of proclamation. Horribly flawed, IMO. I don't think I could bring myself to write a review about the movie, because I'd literally become angry.
I think what Van Zant did, aside from prove himself to be the most self-indulgent, hypocritical, pretentious hack in indie cinema was rape and brutalize whatever legacy Cobain MAY have had, by sharing his "speculation", which doesn't mean much to anyone anyway, given his lack of familiarity with the subject.
