Cobain

Director's Commentary

»Cobain had a difficult start in life. His addicted pregnant mother is unable to care for him. Their roles are reversed: she is the child, he the adult. To prevent history from repeating itself, he must save himself by saving his unborn brother. Cobain does not see his own life as particularly hard; he takes things as they come. I am not so much concerned with the circumstances that can ruin a person, but rather with the life force that cannot be slowed or restrained. It is the light that still weaves its way through the smallest hole in a curtain and projects an abundance of images on the wall. In that moment, when you see it, there is happiness.«
