When filmmakers betray the documentary they’re making. Karina wrestles with The Axe in the Attic, a documentary where the filmmakers hijack their own story by inserting themselves into it. Kurt & Courtney (1998), Nick Broomfield’s attempted investigation into Kurt Cobain’s life and death, is a classic example of the same folly. But AJ Schnack’s Kurt Cobain About a Son (opening tonight) sets a new gold standard for self-restraint.
