A new movie about late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is to be premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, and the producers insist it will be a rock documentary that's a little different.

The film is based on 25 hours of interviews with Cobain compiled by Azerrad as he was preparing to write the Nirvana biography 'Come As You Are.'

Azerrad says, "We didn't want to call it a documentary. We'd call it a non-fiction film because it wasn't really going to trace a journalistic narrative.

"It became more of an intimate visit with a person who a lot of people thought they understood but probably didn't. You're listening to him talk in these very intimate conversations, and you get a feeling that I don't think anyone has ever gotten from Kurt.

"It won't fit into what anyone is expecting about a Kurt Cobain documentary, and it's not a traditional rock doc.

"There's no archival footage in the film, and Kurt only appears at the very end. Basically it's the chance to sit with his voice and listen to him tell his story."
