Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1998
This original promotional poster, produced in 1998, advertises the documentary film 'Kurt & Courtney' directed by Nick Broomfield. The film investigates the circumstances and theories surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain, as well as allegations regarding the involvement of Courtney Love.
Visually, the poster features a prominent close-up image of Kurt Cobain, consistent with the film's subject matter. The graphic layout includes the film's title, the director's name, and a press quote from NME stating 'Superbly Revealing'. The lower portion of the poster indicates that the documentary is 'Available on DVD & VHS March 24th', and includes small inset imagery of the home video packaging. Measuring 30 by 20 inches, this piece serves as a promotional artifact for the 1998 documentary, which famously underwent production challenges including the licensing of Nirvana's music due to legal threats from Courtney Love.
The item is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, reinforcing its status as an original promotional material from the time of the film's release.
