Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception, reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. Through interviews with people who knew them, such as music stars, critics, medical experts and unseen footage, the lives, music, and artistry of those who died at 27 are investigated with a bid to find answers.

Revela los hechos detrás de la muerte de Kurt Cobain vistos a través de los ojos de Tom Grant, el investigador privado que fue contratado por Courtney Love en 1994 para localizar a su marido desaparecido (Kurt Cobain), unos días antes de que su cuerpo difunto fuese encontrado en su casa de Seattle. La muerte de Cobain fue declarada como suicidio por la policía, pero las dudas han circulado durante veinte años en cuanto a la legitimidad de esta decisión, sobre todo debido a la labor del Sr. Grant, detective ex Sheriff del Condado de Los Ángeles, quien realizó su propia investigación.

The rise to fame (and the near-fatal fall from it) of Patty Schemel, drummer for Courtney Love's seminal rock band, Hole. Given a Hi-8 video camera just before Hole's infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty captured stunningly intimate footage of the scene that has never been seen... until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.

Luego de su supuesto suicidio, la figura de Kurt Cobain como nuevo mártir rockero dio paso a múltiples especulaciones y puntos de vista alrededor de la propia industria musical y, por supuesto, de su vida personal. Las conjeturas y los diferentes acercamientos comienzan de a poco a plasmarse en propuestas cinematográficas, algunas más felices que otras. Y si bien el abanico de ofertas puede ser diverso, ninguno podría igualar el motor que lleva adelante esta película: la voz del propio Cobain. Utilizando parte de más de veinticinco horas de entrevistas con material inédito, el líder de Nirvana se convierte en narrador excluyente de un documental intimista que va desglosando de manera pausada su propia historia: su infancia, sus primeros pasos en la música, su primer concierto, el encontronazo con la fama, sus últimos días. Un detalle: la música hipnótica de Steve Fisk (productor de Blew, primer Ep de Nirvana) y Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie).

On April 8th 1994, Kurt Cobain - the lead singer of post-punk band Nirvana - was found dead in his Seattle home of an apparent shotgun wound to the head and three times the lethal dose of heroin in his system. Today, the cause of his death is still debated. This film charts the tragic downward spiral and increasing isolation of this hero of a generation, which even his marriage to Courtney Love and the birth of his daughter Frances Bean could not stop.
Legendary photographer and director Anton Corbijn is responsible for many of the most indelible and important images of the past two and a half decades. His recently released book U2 & I is a photographic retrospective of his 25 year collaboration with U2. Later this year, Anton will direct his first feature film, Control, based on the life of the late Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis.
Highlighted on the With The Lights Out DVD is a previously unreleased video of nine songs performed in 1988 at bassist Krist Novoselic's mother's house in Aberdeen, Washington; the rare "In Bloom" Sub Pop music video, and 10 never-before-seen live performances. Noteworthy among them are debut renditions of "Pennyroyal Tea", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" both from early 1991. Also premiering is an unlikely performance of Jacques Brel and Rod McKuen's "Seasons In The Sun" shot at a Rio de Janeiro studio.

Ten years after the wasteful death of Kurt Cobain he remains the only true musical icon of the post punk age. This film traces the early life of Kurt from his childhood in small town Washington right up to his first taste of superstardom at the dawn of the release of the multi platinum Nevermind album. Taking in all aspects of his life and career up to that pivotal stage, the story hinges on a narrative from esteemed Cobain biographer Charles Cross and is embellished with lengthy contributions from his relations, friends, band members, fellow musicians and numerous others who recall a side of Kurt not previously revealed.

While planning the eventual DVD release for "1991: The Year Punk Broke", Dave Markey cut a 40-minute film out of unused footage to create a companion piece to include. The film was also shown to a handful of lucky audiences before the DVD's eventual release in 2011. It's an awesome bonus with tons of great footage that could have easily been in the film. These songs were probably the best to leave out of the full-length film, since 2 were brand new and still quite shaky. The only tour staple not accounted for in either film is "Mary-Christ". Here are the sources I could determine: Inhuman - ??

El 8 de abril de 1994 un electricista encontró el cadáver del músico Kurt Cobain. Junto a él había una pistola, una jeringa y un gran charco de sangre. Desde ese momento comenzó la polémica: ¿Suicidio o asesinato? Inmediatamente las informaciones sobre la muerte del ídolo grunge comenzaron a circular por la incipiente Internet, hasta que acabaron en el libro "¿Quién mató a Kurt Cobain?" escrito por los canadienses Max Wallance y Ian Halperin, y en la película "Kurt & Courtney", dirigida por Nick Broomfield. Motivado por todas las dudas que había detrás de la muerte del cantante Kurt Cobain, Broomfield comenzó en 1997 a recopilar material para realizar su película. Contactó para ello con familiares y amigos del guitarrista de Nirvana. El film desarrolla, desde distintos puntos de vista, la vida del líder de Nirvana, la tumultuosa relación que mantuvo con su esposa Courtney Love y su polémica muerte. (FILMAFFINITY)
