The last time a documentary presented an argument suggesting that Courtney Love was in some way responsible for or a contributor to the 1994 shotgun-suicide death of her then-husband Kurt Cobain was Nick Bromfield‘s less than conclusive Kurt and Courtney, which I saw at Sundance in 1998. From a producer friend: “I asked Broomfield at a friend’s party if there was anything he left out of Kurt and Courtney. He immediately lowered his voice and said, “Yes, something I found out later. Courtney had him cremated and put in a jar which she then put in a small backpack. She wore the backpack everywhere she went for years.” Wait…Love wore a backpack to parties and premieres? Producer: “I said ‘she wore him? Why?’ And he said, ‘Because she finally had him.”
