Last Movies
Kurt Cobain enjoyed a banana-based dessert at the Cactus restaurant in Seattle, before asking owner Brett Chatalas for that evening’s movie listings. He and his friends picked Jane Campion’s The Piano. Cobain was last seen later that night, briefly, at Linda’s Tavern.
For this Valentine’s Day special of the ongoing Last Movies series, we present The Piano, the extraordinary film by Jane Campion that Kurt Cobain saw last.
Following the film Elena Gorfinkel will join Stanley Schtinter in conversation on art and commerce, love and force, the death of Kurt Cobain and the ambiguous feminisms of Jane Campion.
