MTV's James Montgomery talks with Michael Azerrad, author of Come As You Are, and director AJ Schnack about Kurt Cobain About a Son, "a documentary only in the loosest sense of the word. Rather, through Cobain's own, unguarded conversations, the film weaves a personal, haunting bio of the man very few knew." Slated to premiere in Toronto; via Matt Dentler.

"Directed by Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin, [loudQUIETloud] is a bit like a Pixies song itself. It is film where simmering tensions erupt into primal storms, where high tragedy goes cheek-by-jowl with low comedy, and where the drummer goes mad and won't finish his solo." The Guardian's Xan Brooks talks with Cantor and with Frank Black, who has a few bones to pick with the portrayal of the Pixies reunion tour - and who, as it happens, appears in Schnack's Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns.
