Gus and Kurt


Maverick director Gus Van Sant of "Good Will Hunting" and "To Die For" fame is set to unleash "Last Days," his largely fictional take on the sad demise of Kurt Cobain.

Gus, working in what is descibed as a non-linear form, will probably have as many "true facts" as Nick Broomfield did in 1998's "Kurt and Courtney." But like that documentary, "Last Days" promises to be interesting even if you can't accept what you see at face value. Plus, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon makes a cameo, and hubby Thurston Moore serves as a musical consultant.

The Village Voice chimes in with a review and this bit of humor.

Paul Anka, meanwhile, sure smells like teen spirit.
