'Soaked in Bleach' Explores Questions around Cobain's Death
Filmmaker Benjamin Statler hopes his new documentary Soaked in Bleach will help reopen the Kurt Cobain case. Meanwhile, Courtney Love and her lawyers are attempting to stop his film from being shown in theaters.
First-time director Benjamin Statler knew if he ever made a movie, it would be about one thing: lingering questions surrounding the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Now, that movie has come to fruition in the form of the docu-drama Soaked in Bleach, and Courtney Love is not a fan. Statler tells us why he ended up self-financing the film and talks about Love’s attempts to block theaters from showing his film.
