Labeled by many, quite superficially, as a sort of biopic about Cobain's last days, it is in fact one of Van Sant's most beautiful and personal films (along with Gerry and Elephant, his masterpiece). It is also an experience (inspired, of course, by the story of the Nirvana frontman, but it would be reductive to stop there in the judgment) that is extreme and distant from any cinematic conventions regarding alienation and estrangement. Not for everyone’s taste, certainly not for those who love popcorn, but a film of the highest caliber.

I agree. The film is empty, but it precisely aims to communicate emptiness and human coldness. For me, an important film. The other night they showed My Own Private Idaho again, I watched it. River of my mind. How sad...
